WHEN SUSTAINABILITY MEETS PRODUCTIVITY
At ICAPE Trax, sustainability is at the heart of our operations. Our new solar energy project marks a major step toward cleaner, more efficient manufacturing in South Africa — reducing our environmental impact while ensuring long-term energy stability.
Installed 588 solar panels providing about 45% of our factory’s energy needs.
Supported by three 100 kW inverters and a new 850 kVA generator to ensure reliability during load shedding.
Expected return on investment in just over five years through energy savings.
Helps reduce our carbon footprint and long-term electricity costs.
An upcoming energy dashboard will display our CO₂ savings and solar energy generation in real time.
