One on one with Astronergy Regional head
My name is Peter Njoroge Senior Regional Manager Astronergy we are a solar panel manufacturer based out of China and we are happy to be part of Refa we are looking forward to interacting with various EPCs and project developers and we are looking forward to making sure that we are able to provide leading technology for projects to be developed in the solar space.
So the solar energy potential for Africa is quite high, the issues and challenges have been mainly around financing and getting projects across the line and this is addressed by companies using bankable equipment manufacturers this gives banks comfort that when they invest in a 25 year project they are able to get their returns on investment.
So the idea is to ensure that we provide leading technologies and warranties to these projects so that we are able to execute them and they can serve the continent for a long period of time.
Renewable energy projects in Sub-Saharan Africa confront significant challenges, primarily centered on financing and technology. Astronergy’s Senior Regional Manager, Peter Njoroge, underscores the potential of the region’s solar energy resources and their role in powering Africa’s future. To tackle financial obstacles, partnerships with reputable equipment manufacturers like Astronergy provide banks with the confidence to invest in long-term projects, some spanning 25 years, ensuring not only environmental benefits but also profitable returns. Astronergy is committed to delivering cutting-edge technology and robust warranties, ensuring the reliable execution of solar projects that can serve the continent for decades. Despite the formidable hurdles, collaborations between industry leaders and improved financing mechanisms offer hope for a brighter future in renewable energy for Sub-Saharan Africa. With advancing technology and growing support, Africa’s renewable energy sector promises a sustainable and eco-friendly energy landscape for generations to come.
