Willow Wood Office Park installs rooftop solar panels
Heartwood Properties has partnered with SolarSaver in converting its Willow Wood Office Park in Fourways, Gauteng, to solar.
“We realise the potential of solar, and the great relief it will bring to our tenants who won’t have to rely on Eskom’s failing system or be at the mercy of its exorbitant pricing structure. Solar is also friendlier to the environment and, as property developers, we must reconsider the impact we have on nature,” says Heartwood Properties CEO John Whall.
SolarSaver finances rooftop solar installations with a proprietary rent-to-own model meaning that Heartwood has not had to finance any solar equipment, design or installation and only pays for the electricity it uses from the solar system. It also carries out all repairs and maintenance of the system for the duration of the contract term.
The fourth and final phase of Willow Wood is set for completion in March 2019 and will include a landscaping feature and a natural space to escape to during lunch or for impromptu team meetings.
