Huawei Digital Power has announced the launch of a new range of technology to enhance energy storage solutions in sub-Saharan Africa. The products constitute smart solar PV and Energy Storage System (ESS) solutions.
According to a note by the vice director of Huawei Smart PV SSA, Victor Koyier, Africa has the most significant potential for solar energy worldwide, with a long-term output of 4.51kWh/kWp per day. However, sub-Saharan Africa currently accounts for 77% of the global population without electricity access, which has increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We know that sub-Saharan Africa is ideally poised to take advantage of renewable energy and solar in particular,” Victor said.
According to a local news report, the solutions Huawei launched in Africa include FusionSolar Smart PV Solution 6.0+, which enables a PV system to be adapted to various grid scenarios, especially in a weak grid environment. Meanwhile, the Residential Smart PV Solution and Commercial & Industrial Smart PV Solution offer an all-around clean energy experience to homes and businesses, with optimised electricity costs, active safety, innovative operation and maintenance (O&M) and intelligent assistance for an enhanced experience.
