The Trade and Economic Office, Embassy of Israel to South AfricaIn light of Israel’s rapid economic and population growth, it has become challenging to supply ours own peak electricity demands. These challenges are inspiring Israeli researchers and entrepreneurs to work on cutting-edge energy technologies. It has led the government to introduce feed-in-tariffs, for large-scale solar power plants and for PV systems up to 50kWp. That is in addition to the very successful use of solar water heaters by 95% of the households in the country.Based on decades of Israeli experience in the field of energy, The Embassy of Israel has put great emphasis on building platforms that would enable know-how sharing and technological cooperation between Israel and Southern Africa. Recognizing the strategic importance of alternative energy technologies for the economic growth and prosperity in the region, it has become ours priority for cooperation. We believe that international cooperation is essential for keeping Israel’s energy industry at the forefront of the global arena.Or Pearl Head of Trade, Embassy of IsraelJohannesburg@israeltrade.gov.il+27-11-783-9605www.israeltech.org.za

Company profileEternegy Ltd. has developed a unique, green and cost-effective way to improve Photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation. Our state of the art solar-tracking technology improves reliability and dramatically reduces costs. Our goal is to help bring utility-scale solar power generation to 'grid parity' rates (electricity cost at regular grid rates) by reducing capital and operational expenditures. We call it ‘surfing the sun’.Year of establishment: 2010No. of employees: 4

Background on the companyOur product is a state-of-the-art large (100m2) Tracker for Photovoltaic (PV) panels suited to making the most of any solar power plant. While solar panel technologies are constantly evolving solar tracking systems have stood still. Current solar tracking technologies are at best evolutions of ideas that are decades old. Our innovative approach changes the basic design of solar trackers and reduces a solar plant’s environmental footprint whilst increasing its efficiency. The Solar energy market, and the PV segment in particular, has become a multi-billion dollar market in the past few years ($80Bn in 2010) and future annual growth rates well above 25% are expected. The Eternegy Tracker is designed to meet the needs of all utility scale PV solar projects currently seen in the USA, Germany, Spain, China and India. It is also designed to meet the needs of PV solar projects planned or expected in all other relevant countries such as Morocco, Australia, and many more. The Tracker market is a subset of the PV utility-scale market. Currently a $2bn market it is expanding rapidly.

Technologies & products Our unique solar tracking technology promises to be the most effective and efficient approach to following the sun. It is designed to be greener and more cost-effective than any other system available:1. Greener: Fewer materials, Less shipping, Easier installation2. Cost-effective: a. 50% less steel and concrete than other trackers b. Improved wind resistance (less down time) c. Reduced maintenance costs d. 40% more electricity than fixed panels
