  • Labelled Solution
Label Date September 11, 2020
From South Africa
Maturity stage TRL 9 / CRI 5-6 - Market competition driving widespread deployment &/"Bankable" grade asset class

The SustainSolar product range addresses the challenge of complexity with the development and implementation of off-grid solar systems. By offering a standardised, modular product offering we significantly simplify the configuration, procurement, logistics and installation of a solar PV power generation plant for the clients. The turn-key approach aims to reduce the complexity and risk for off-grid and mini-grid developers and EPCs and therefore increases the implementation speed. It further offers asset financing and rent-to-own models for the solutions which address another, significant problem rural electrification projects are facing: the large upfront cash requirements. Turnkey, modular, reliable solutions for quick and easy installation across Africa together with a financing option make solar power installations as easy but overall cheaper and cleaner than the mainstream diesel generator.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Solar off-grid systems save in many cases about 70% (in some cases by 100%) fuel consumption and therefore reduction of CO2

The Financial Benefits

  • Payback time for clients is comparison to diesel generator: 3 years Savings
