Are there any photovoltaic panel manufacturers in Eritrea

Eritrea's weather, characterized by long sunny days throughout the year, makes it suitable for harnessing solar power. Data from the wind and solar monitoring stations installed in many parts of Eritrea show that the country has a great potential, around 6 kwh/m2 of solar energy.

The government of Eritrea has been making efforts to promote the use of alternative sources of energy, especially solar energy, to mitigate the problems associated with the use of fossil fuel. A major benefit of solar energy is that it does not pollute the environment and saves money in the long run even if its installation cost is quite high.

Morocco is home to Africa's biggest solar plant, Noor Solar Complex, and South Africa hosts eight of the ten largest solar plants in Africa. The Noor Solar Complex in Morocco is a 500 MW solar park, which is the biggest concentrated solar power plant in the world.

Eritrea's major source of energy is petroleum, which drains the foreign currency reserves of the country and is globally a major cause of pollution. The government of Eritrea has been making efforts to promote the use of alternative sources of energy, especially solar energy, to mitigate the problems associated with the use of fossil fuel.

Globally, the use of solar power as an alternative source of energy is growing. In Africa, Egypt, Morocco, Ghana and South Africa are leading in their extensive use of solar energy. Morocco is home to Africa's biggest solar plant, Noor Solar Complex, and South Africa hosts eight of the ten largest solar plants in Africa.

As part of its efforts to promote the use of alternative sources of energy, the MEM built in April 2018 a photovoltaic plant east of Asmara. The plant generates an average of 11- thousand kilowatt hours of electricity per day. Moreover, in Asmara, more than 400 solar powered streetlights, covering a distance of 13 kilometers, have been installed.
