It is great to see that our revolutionary PV substructure PEG® EW is also being used on a ‘small scale’ all over the world at unserved areas, bringing better working and living conditions to many people. The following advantages of the PEG® EW system are particularly appreciated for Africa GreenTec's projects: - Simple & quick installation process - Installation can be carried out by low-skilled labour - No use of heavy machinery or trench excavation required - Effective logistics due to the extremely lightweight system - approx. 2.8 MW substructure fit in a std. container (12.2 m /40 ft) - PEG® needs 78% less steel compared to conventional systems - Adaptable to different soils (including sand and rocky soils) - And last but not least: PEG is probably the PV racking system with the highest density on the market (225% more energy yield compared to fixed tilt and tracking systems) CONCLUSION: PEG racking systems reduce labour, material, installation and operating costs while providing a robust solution that provides Africa with a stable power supply. https://lnkd.in/eB4ygCaq #SolarPower #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #renewableenergy #minigrid #energyaccess #peg #teamjurchen
Business ideas abound in many communities across #Africa. However, what often cuts those dreams short or renders them invalid, is the unavailability of reliable power. But with the provision of clean, reliable energy through for instance the deployment of clean energy mini-grids, many people's dreams are valid. Mrs Victorie, a trader in Mahasolo, #Madagascar has a dream to expand her business and has already visualized where everything in her ice-cream stand will go and is now awaiting the commissioning of the 148 kW PV plant with a lithium-ion battery containerized system project by the UEF in partnership Africa GreenTec, for her dream of becoming a renowned ice cream vendor to become a reality. #FinancingEnergyProsperity #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #SustainableEnergy #minigrid #offgridsolar #energyaccess #SustainableDevelopment #SolarPower #SolarEnergy #SolarPanels Damilola Ogunbiyi, Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP), The Rockefeller Foundation, IKEA Foundation, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Power Africa, Shell Foundation, The Carbon Trust, Good Energies Foundation, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Africa Minigrid Developers Association (AMDA), Bezos Earth Fund Anita Otubu, Abdulmumini Yakubu, José Otárola-Silesky, Inès Rachel Dushime, Francesco Bisleti, Harry Gibson, Onyeka Okoye, Getty Kasole
