The solar installation team tells you the manager, that solar panels require a relatively flat roof and need to face towards the southern hemisphere sun movement which means the roof should be facing North to catch as much of the sun as it passes by as possible. The factory does have a relatively flat roof, but the roof does not quite face due North. The solar installation team says that the slight deviation from North may mean that the solar panels may only work at $95\%$ capacity instead of $100\%$ but may also manage $100\%-$ the team can't tell for sure until the panels are installed.

Having $95\%$ solar capacity will still mean the factory is likely to run at $90\%$ production capacity whereas now it runs as only a quarter $(25\%)$ of its manufacturing capacity because of Eskom power cuts.

Using your risk assessment abilities as a manager, conduct a risk evaluation of the impact for the factory production of a $95\%$ solar power availability.

Apply the following to do your risk evaluation:

C$2\mathrm{.}1$ Explain fully your reasoning for picking the level of likelihood from table $1.$ Clearly indicate the level number and descriptor you pick from the table. $(5$ marks$).$

C$2\mathrm{.}2$ Explain fully your reasoning for picking the level of severity from table $2.$ Clearly indicate

the level number and descriptor you pick from the table $(5$ marks$).$

C$2\mathrm{.}3$ Calculate the final risk weighting $($show your calculation$)$ and describe the colour of that risk from the heat risk table $($table $3)(5$ marks$).$

C$2\mathrm{.}4$ Based on the risk assessment you have undertaken above, briefly devise a strategy that will help reduce the effect of a $5\%$ drop in solar power and no Eskom power on factory production. Ensure you explain how this strategy will need support from each of the four resources of the company y i$.$e$.$ Human resources, financial resources, tangible resources $($like building materials etc$),$ and, intangible resources $($like project planning$)(5$ marks$).$
