The following map shows the Atlas of the solar resource in Angola as well as the various locations identified with a significant potential for installing
SOLAR ENERGY: 100 MW UNTIL 2025 Angola has a high solar resource potential, with an annual average global horizontal radiation between 1.350 and 2.070 kWh/m2/year. Solar energy constitutes the largest and more uniformely distributed renewable resource of the country.
The Angola Solar Project creates new opportunities for Angolan communities that will no longer be forced to rely on and pay for gasoline or diesel generators. Each one of the five projects that comprises the Angola Solar Project will supply the needs of 500,000 Angolan homes, mainly in rural areas.
The most appropriate technology to harness the solar resource in Angola is the production of electricity through photovoltaic systems. This technology currently presents the fastest ºinstallation time (less than 1 year) and lowest maintenance costs.
Each one of the five projects that comprises the Angola Solar Project will supply the needs of 500,000 Angolan homes, mainly in rural areas. Sun Africa was awarded the prestigious "ECA/DFI-backed deal of the year" by "TXF Perfect 10" for Sun Africa's 370 MW solar PV project in Angola.
