LONGi Solar's Viable Solution in Djibouti's Energy Landscape

In a significant step towards sustainable energy access, LONGi Solar has successfully contributed to Djibouti's first off-grid solar project located in the rural town of Adailou. In partnership with the Proxy Group, LONGi has deployed its cutting-edge Hi-MO X10 solar modules, marking a milestone for renewable energy in a region that has long struggled with energy poverty.

Technological Innovation for Remote Areas

The installation in Adailou is equipped with a powerful 165 kW solar system integrated with a 500 kWh energy storage system, providing much-needed electricity to an isolated community. The Hi-MO X10 modules have been carefully engineered with innovative back-contact technology, which enhances their reliability and efficiency in off-grid applications.

Adailou, a previously neglected area often enveloped in darkness, is now illuminated thanks to this project. The advanced features of the Hi-MO X10 make it particularly suitable for regions with limited maintenance access, ensuring high performance throughout the module's lifecycle. The modules boast a remarkable power density of up to 670 W per standard size, along with a low degradation rate of just 1% in the first year, followed by a linear degradation of only 0.35% per year thereafter.

Benefits to the Community

This solar project does not merely supply electricity; it heralds a transformation in the quality of life for local residents. With reliable energy, homes are lighted, schools can operate more effectively, and healthcare facilities can function optimally, greatly improving residents' overall living conditions. Moreover, with reduced maintenance needs, the project addresses the resource challenges in remote areas, paving the way for sustainable community development.

Following the deployment, Huawei’s Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), also spearheaded by Proxy Group, complements the Hi-MO X10 technology by facilitating efficient energy storage and distribution. This integrated approach offers a comprehensive solution for off-grid electrification in challenging environments, ensuring that communities like Adailou reap the full benefits of solar energy without fear of outages.

Empowering Rural Electrification

At the inauguration ceremony, prominent Djiboutian officials, including Energy and Natural Resources Minister Yonis Ali Guedi, hailed the project as a significant advancement in rural electrification efforts. The timing coincided beautifully with the Independence Day celebrations, further highlighting the project's impact on the community’s morale and progress.

As part of its broader initiative, LONGi’s “Light Up Africa” program emphasizes expanding access to clean and reliable solar energy across the continent. The Adailou project serves as a beacon of hope, illustrating how solar technology can transform communities and support sustainable livelihoods while addressing the pressing issue of energy equity in Africa.
