REC is entering numerous markets in Africa, beginning with ECOWAS, East and South African regions. With solar power uptake on the African continent predicted to surge over the coming years – 100 gigawatts (GW) of solar installations are forecasted by 2030 – REC is confident that with its combination of high performing solar panels, the established REC Partner Program, plus training expertise for local solar professionals, the company is in an excellent starting position as the solar industry in Africa gathers pace.
As industry expands and populations grow, so does the need for energy, and the high irradiation levels across Africa put solar in pole position as a potential source. With more than 600 million people on the continent still lacking access to power grids, local solar energy projects give communities clean, affordable power without the need for large-scale, public-funded investment in grid infrastructures.
