China''s Solar Firms Invest to Meet Africa''s Need
Jinko Solar, the world''s biggest solar panel maker, bagged a contract on April 29 to supply 25 megawatt of the latest N-type TOPCon PV
Also of significance is the news that one of Africa's largest grid-connected PV project, the 500MW Abydos Solar PV Plant, has been successfully completed through the collaboration of AMEA Power, CEEC, and JA Solar, with JA Solar supplying all PV modules for the project.
At the first African Climate Summit in September 2023, China announced that it would launch an "Africa Solar Belt" program with 100 million yuan (about 14 million U.S. dollars) in funding for solar projects in regions not served by main electrical grids. The program aims to support at least 50,000 families.
The Sahara Desert's vast sunlight makes it ideal for developing the photovoltaic industry, while Africa's extensive coastline provides perfect conditions for offshore wind energy development. In some remote African villages, photovoltaic panels are used to develop small solar power stations that provide electricity to nearby households.
The 55-megawatt facility is the largest grid-connected solar power plant in East and Central Africa. Elizabeth Wanjiku, who owns a food stall in Garissa town in northeastern Kenya, said that in the past, she relied on generators to run her business, especially for powering the refrigerator where she preserved her food.
At the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, a project was launched to promote more small, innovative, clean energy projects between China and Africa. The project primarily focuses on small and medium-sized solar projects in under-developed regions of Africa.
The perspective is shared by Yang Baorong, a researcher at the China-Africa Institute, who said that China provides Africa with high-quality and affordable green energy technologies and products, making them accessible to more African people.
