This ci dev initiative in ethiopia is an excellent example of leveraging carbon credits and concessional finance to enable off grid solar says program manager venkata ramana putti who leads the world bank group s climate and carbon finance unit which oversees ci dev and 18 other carbon pricing and results based finance initiatives.
Ethiopia solar panels.
Ethiopia is the fourth country to join scaling solar.
The scaling solar program is part of the newly instituted ppp structure that has been put in place by ethiopia s government.
The majority of the ethiopia s population live in rural areas and very few have access to electricity.
Ethiopia is planning for a carbon neutral status by 2025.
Its activities include manufacturing assembly trading and facilitating services in renewable energy.
The metals and engineering corporation started an initiative of assembling photovoltaic pv solar panels for the first time in ethiopia.
Ethiopia power inverters and solar panels we have a variety of dc to ac power inverters that have no problems powering ethiopia tools and appliances on its 220 vac 50 hz electrical grid.
Laboratory equipment and chemicals are also our area of specialization.
Solar panel production is under construction at sendafa area in oromia regional state 40 km away from addis ababa with the aim of increasing solar panels and silicon element production.

Some of the items are solar charge controllers solar collectors evacuated tube solar cooking systems solar electric power systems solar water pumping systems solar thermal energy general solar power system.
We supply solar thermal and pv products in ethiopia.
Ethiopia electric power signed an agreement with ifc to advise on developing up to 500mw of solar power under the initiative.
Ethiopia is also part of the world bank group s scaling solar program which aims to further develop renewable energy sources mainly solar energy.
Benefit of solar energy technology.
Power inverters play a pivotal role in the lives of the people of the ethiopia.
Although ethiopia has huge renewable energy potential it currently has an energy shortfall of 500mw with over 70 of its energy coming from hydropower.
Power africa is supporting ethiopia s generation transmission utility by updating the demand forecast and developing a generation procurement plan that will meet demand and balance intermittent wind and solar generation with base load hydro and geothermal generation.
