Fostering the Growth of Africa's Solar Energy Market
Solution One:
Hybrid
Hybrid Solutions typically combine two or more technologies from different energy sources. Various clients have different needs and due to their challenges, a combination of technologies would be considered, to provide a tailor made solution for the needs of the client.
Solution Two:
Wind
"Wind energy" and "wind power" both describe the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity.
Solution Three:
Solar PV
Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation.
Solution Four:
Biomass
Biomass energy is energy generated or produced by living or once-living organisms. The most common biomass materials used for energy are plants, such as corn and soy, above. The energy from these organisms can be burned to create heat or converted into electricity.
Solution Five:
Gas
Natural gas is a non-renewable hydrocarbon used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. It is also used as a fuel for vehicles and as a chemical feedstock in the manufacture of plastics and other commercially important organic chemicals. Types considered are CNG, LNG, Biogas & Hydrogen (H2).
