ENER-G-AFRICA (EGA) has expanded its operations by relocating to a new, larger manufacturing hub in Paarl, Western Cape.
This state-of-the-art facility now includes a cutting-edge solar assembly line capable of producing TÜV Certified 550W and 275W solar panels, alongside the existing 20W, 50W, and 360W panels.
These products are designed to serve both the South African market and export needs across Africa.
The 550W and 275W panels will be available for purchase starting in October 2024.
EGA continues to lead in the development of innovative solar energy solutions, offering a comprehensive range of off-grid residential products in the region.
These solutions are tailored for both local and export markets, including countries such as Malawi, Mozambique, Angola, Ghana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Namibia, and Botswana.
Andre Moolman, CEO of EGA, highlights the company’s commitment to advancing solar technology in Africa.
“Our investment in state-of-the-art German technology allows us to produce highly advanced and reliable solar panels specifically designed for the African environment. We are equally dedicated to training, upskilling, and employing women and young people from local communities in our solar assembly and manufacturing processes. By integrating automation in key areas, we ensure superior quality control and cost efficiency,” says Moolman.
Dave Lello, chief business development officer at EGA, emphasised the strategic importance of their new panel offerings.
“With our modules being manufactured locally, it means we have been able to adapt our design, specifically for the requirements of the African market, particularly the 275W panels,” says Lello.
“No other manufacturer currently makes 275W panels configured quite like this. They have been designed with flexibility in mind while maintaining the voltage output of larger panels in order to integrate with most standard industry inverters,” says Lello.
