🚀 Solar PV Trackers Reach New Heights 🌞 The solar industry has hit a new milestone! A recent report by Wood Mackenzie highlights a record-breaking 92GW of solar PV tracker shipments last year, a 40% increase from the year prior. This surge underscores the growing importance of solar trackers in maximizing energy output and efficiency for utility-scale projects. 🔹 Why It Matters: Solar trackers are essential in boosting the performance of solar panels by optimizing their orientation towards the sun, increasing energy yield. With the market leaders driving 80% of global shipments, innovation and expertise are key to advancing solar technology. At Iris Solar, we’re proud to be part of this movement with our Iris T1 solar tracker, which is coming next year (along with other products thereafter). By integrating cutting-edge design and performance, we're committed to delivering solutions that not only meet but exceed the growing demand for clean, sustainable energy. Join us in driving the future of solar energy, where innovation meets sustainability! 🌍⚡ #Sustainability #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #SolarTrackers #CleanTech For more insights, check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/grag5Pac

🌍 How Can Off-Grid Solar Shape Africa’s Future? GOGLA, regarded as the voice of the off-grid solar energy industry, recently published a paper which explores the myriad positive impacts that off-grid solar technologies can have on economic and social development. As engaged members of the industry, we thought it appropriate to highlight some of these impacts for you all. Off-grid solar technologies are revolutionizing lives and businesses across the globe. Currently, nearly 500 million people and over 10 million businesses rely on these solutions, transforming national challenges into opportunities for growth and sustainability. This reliance on off-grid solar is notably palpable in Africa, across a number of key sectors including: 👨🌾 Agriculture: • Improving irrigation, cooling, poultry farming, agro-processing, and heating. • With 33 million smallholder farmers in Africa contributing to 70% of the continent’s food supply, off-grid solar is crucial in modernizing food production and combating food insecurity. 🏭 Commerce & Industry: • Supporting entertainment, cooling, tailoring, carpentry, barbershops, and cooking. • Businesses can overcome operational hurdles, reduce losses from power outages (which currently cost 4.9% of annual sales), and extend trading hours with reliable solar-powered lighting. 🏥 Social Services: • Health: Powering refrigerators, vaccine storage, medical appliances, and water supply. • Education: Providing lighting, ICT, and cooling solutions. 💡 Boosting Business Operations: • Solar-powered lighting systems allow shops, bars, and restaurants to extend their operating hours, increasing income. • Solar-powered communication devices enhance connectivity, helping businesses identify opportunities, set fair prices, and maintain smooth operations. Off-grid solar is not just a power solution; it is a catalyst for economic development, food security, and improved quality of life. Let’s harness this power to build a sustainable future! 🌞 Link to GOGLA report: https://lnkd.in/eRi_Kaaq.. #Sustainability #OffGridSolar #ClimateTech #EconomicDevelopment #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #CleanTech
