Why Solar Energy – KYA-ENERGY GROUP

With around 3,000 hours per year Africa holds a total of more than 40% of the world’s solar potential; a reservoir which is able to make it the leading continent in matter of solar energy production.

However, the continent still faces serious issues of access to energy. Therefore, KYA-Energy Group stands as a solution to the challenges of electrification in Africa.

Challenges in the Solar Sector and How KYA-ENERGY GROUP Solves them

Besides all these successes listed above, KYA-Energy Group’s main challenge is the economic affordability of solar products.

Consequently, to KYA-Energy Group’s vision, they are still working for the democratization of solar Energy in Togo and in Africa by making accessible their KYA-SolarPacks (KYA-SoP) to the population through partnerships with financial institutions and international organizations.

KYA-Energy Group’s perspective is to reach a large scale of production of their KYA-SoP that they can lower the cost and make it more accessible to the population. Furthermore, there is still work to do to raise public awareness about energy efficiency issues and the importance of adopting solar energy.

Future Plans for KYA-ENERGY GROUP

KYA-Energy Group’s ambition is to become in 5 years one of the major actors in the solar Industry in Africa, being among the Top 10 with a clear ambition to cover the whole continent with our solar products.

Today KYA-Energy Group is upgrading their team (in quality and in quantity) while strengthening their production capacities to face the demands of the African market.

New products such solar inverters are under design and this would help KYA-Energy Group to handle more than 50% of the solar systems components that they are offering to the populations.

KYA-Energy Group is also into a quality approach to obtain certifications to enable the company to open fully to the international market.

Key Message from Professor Yao K. AZOUMAH – Founder and CEO, KYA-Energy Group

For all other visionaries looking to venture or invest in Africa, I would like to tell them not to hesitate to invest in similar projects. Africa is a wonderful continent with tremendous opportunities, and it is high time we exploit these opportunities for the development of our continent.

At KYA-Energy Group, we are “moving beyond the sky” because there is no where in the world we can have the opportunities we currently have in Africa to develop better and innovative solar solutions.
