Local impact

Lifting up local communities, one project at a time.

Our clean energy projects have a positive impact on local communities, bringing not just electricity but social, economic, and infrastructure improvements. Whether we’re installing a utility-scale solar plant or a series of minigrids, we take care to become part of each community we serve by working with local labor and officials to create a deeper understanding of their needs. Additionally, we have a community development program where we work to identify local needs and develop unique solutions.

Our partners

When you work with us, you gain access to a whole lot more.

When it comes to our partners, we take steps to maximize economic value. For example, by working with the largest energy engineering, procurement, and construction companies (EPC), we’re able to select optimal electrical generating components and negotiate local contracts. By working with world-class equipment providers, we create projects with superior quality and an increased lifespan. This longer lifespan, alongside favorable financing rates, leads to a low levelized cost of electricity. For clients, our strong network makes a world of difference.

Why Sun Africa?

Solar power is the smart choice for Africa.

As the world changes, it’s more important than ever to create clean energy solutions that lead to a better world and improve the quality of life for communities. There are many reasons why Sun Africa’s solar solutions are the best choice for Africa, today and tomorrow.

High Stream of Income

Projects last usually for 30+ years and offer a steady return on investment and a steady stream of income. Solar can also offer a hedge against rising electricity prices.

Reduced dependence on fossil fuels

Solar energy production does not require fossil fuels and is therefore less dependent on this limited and expensive natural resource.

Environmental advantages

Solar power production generates electricity with a limited impact on the environment as compared to other forms of electricity production. Africa has high solar potential, making solar PV systems an effective method of obtaining energy.

Matching peak time output

Battery storage solutions provide long term energy management and can counteract fluctuations in customer loads. Solar energy can effectively supplement electricity supply from an electricity transmission grid, such as when electricity demand peaks.

Modularity and scalability

As the size and generating capacity of a solar system are a function of the number of solar modules installed, applications of solar technology are readily scalable and versatile systems can be built in as little as 9 months, making these projects appropriate for any size or location.

Flexible locations

Minigrid and battery storage solutions offer electricity access to rural and otherwise inaccessible locations, away from the main electrical grid.

International recognition

As renewable energy becomes mainstream, the world is watching. Utility-scale solar not only boosts local economies, it positions the countries that install it as leaders in the eyes of those who wish to engage in their own clean energy projects.
