🌍 We continue our knowledge series: Electricity grids at a glance - solutions for a sustainable energy future 🔋 Solar Home Systems: Very small solar installation designed for individual households or buildings, often consisting of just one solar panel 🔌 Nano-grid: Similar to Solar Home Systems, but with higher output and suitable for supplying several houses or providing productive power ⚙️ Mini-grid/Micro-grid: Localised, independent power grid that supplies several households, buildings or a small community with energy 🔗 Mesh-grid: Several decentralised interconnected grids 🏛️ National Grid/State Grid: Centralized, large-scale electricity transmission and distribution network across a country or state. ⚡In the next few posts, we will give you a deeper insight into each type of grid, the advantages and disadvantages of each and possible applications in sub-Saharan Africa to empower local people through access to energy.

🌍 Nano-grid, mini-grid or state-grid: What is the future of energy supply? ⚡ In numerous regions worldwide, particularly in Africa, dependable power grids are not guaranteed. However, what type of grid is most appropriate for addressing local challenges? Our CEO, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Rams participated virtually in the New Energy World 2024 forum, discussing how innovative solutions like nano-grids (mesh-grids) and mini-grids can serve as viable alternatives or even supplements to national power grids. 👉 Watch the full event, featuring Wolfgang on the panel: https://lnkd.in/e2G6iMFj (Wolfgang from minute 40 on) The participants had many interesting discussions 💬, which showed us that there are still many unanswered questions about the different types of grids, how they work and their respective advantages. In the next few posts, we will inform you in detail about the individual grid types and highlight their advantages ⚡. We will give you insights into how they can be used in sub-Saharan Africa to give more people access to reliable electricity. We look forward to your comments and questions under each of the posts, as well as your feedback on what you think of this type of knowledge series. 📝 #AfricaGreenTec #Minigrid #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #FutureOfEnergy #empower

Today we celebrate the Africa Industrialization Day! At Africa GreenTec, we work every day to create an environmentally friendly and future-oriented industry. 🚀 Sustainability and solar energy are the key to shaping industrial change in Africa. With innovative solutions such as our La Fabrique project, we not only provide access to clean energy, but also enable the creation of jobs and the promotion of local economies. ☀️⚙️ The installation of our Solartainer Kani® at La Fabrique, a paving block and brick factory in Senegal, is progressing and we plan to complete it in early 2025. By using solar energy, we enable small and medium-sized enterprises to be more productive and environmentally conscious at the same time. By integrating solar systems into industrial processes, we are actively helping to reduce CO2 emissions and strengthen the economy in the long term. 🌱 A big step towards a green industry is possible if we act now. Together, we continue to create an industrial revolution that will not only make Africa stronger, but also greener. 🌞🌍 #AfricaIndustrializationDay #Sustainability #SolarEnergy #LaFabrique #AfricaGreentec #GreenFuture #SustainableIndustry #RenewableEnergy #ShapingTheFuture

💡"Electricity is a matter of life and death." … says Dr. Manda, who works at the health center in Mahasolo, our second ImpactSite in Madagascar. The health center currently has a small solar power system, but the outdated technology and insufficient battery capacity mean frequent power outages. This results in the loss of vaccines and creates extremely challenging conditions for both Dr. Manda and his patients. 🤝Together with our partners Polarstern GmbH and Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) we are empowering the 12,000 inhabitants of Mahasolo with 100 % renewable energy through our Solartainer® Kani with 148 kWp solar park and 171 kWh battery storage. 💪🏾The health center and the three public schools in Mahasolo will be connected and supplied with reliable solar energy free of charge for one year, thanks to our partners from Polarstern GmbH and ebl-naturkost GmbH & Co. KG. With the reliable energy from the Solartainer®, power outages are no longer a problem for Dr. Mandas' work, helping him to provide better healthcare in Mahasolo. 💡Our technicians from Africa GreenTec Madagascar are installing the first connections in Mahasolo this week! #change #renewableenergy #sustainable #impact #africa #socialbusiness #europe #cooperation #impactsite #change #empower #energysupply #entrepreneurship #sustainability #ruralelectrification #decentralizedenergysupply #minigrids #microgrids WE DO.
