There are certain changes i would make to the wikipedia article. One of the images shown at the top of the page has a somewhat unrelated picture to the topic of solar power in south africa. The picture shows a solar powered car. It is apart of a race of solar powered cars for competition, but there could be a more accurate picture showing the south african energy problems or added on about the solar farms located in south africa. Another issue I found was how the article compared one of the solar farms length. It described it as, "surface area equivalent to 205 football pitches". Not many people know how long or what a football pitch is. A unit of metric measurement would be more accurate, or something that any average reader would understand.

The article could also mention why the government of south africa is giving tax incentives to its citizens for using renewable energy. There has been a problem with the energy consumption and usage in the country. This would also help explain why the country is developing and spending much money and time on creating this source of renewable energy. Some of the articles i found have updated information in relation to the statistics of the energy usage and energy that would be conserved due to the solar farms added.

A picture i would add can be found in one of the links that also has information to contribute:

Anyone of the photos from the website can show the extent of south african solar power. I tried uploading the picture but had difficulty
