SOLARWORLD Africa, a leading importer and distributor of solar products in southern and sub-Saharan Africa, has partnered with Meyer Burger Technology AG, a European manufacturer of high-performance solar cells and modules. Together, they are well positioned to serve the renewable energy sector in the region.
As the exclusive distribution partner for southern and sub-Saharan Africa, SOLARWORLD Africa will offer Meyer Burger’s high-performance Heterojunction/SmartWire solar modules to this market. Meyer Burger’s products are designed to perform best under hot conditions and offer up to 20% higher energy yields than standard solar modules.
Gregor Küpper, Managing Director of SOLARWORLD Africa says, “We welcome Meyer Burger and its products into our distribution portfolio. The outstanding quality and advanced technology they provide will enable a lower levelised cost of electricity and let the owner of the system benefit over at least 30 years, much longer than the standard technology currently sold in Africa.”

Due to the production processes and patented Heterojunction/SmartWire technology, they offer advanced cell stability and high resilience with a high breakage resistance.

With its service structures and the international network that SOLARWORLD Africa has built and maintained, we are confident that our products will be used by quality and performance oriented solar specialists.”
