120MW of solar energy on Ugandan grid

The Government identified Solar PV technology as a critical renewable energy technology that will ensure that it meets its emission targets under the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) but also its energy needs in the short, medium to long term in line with the National Vision 2040.

The Government identified and proposed six possible sites in Kapeeka (20MW), Iganga (20MW), Tororo (20MW), Kumi (20MW), Bukedea (20MW), and Paliisa (20MW) for development by TotalEnergies EP Uganda.

The Beyond the Grid for Africa (BGFA) program has selected two clean electricity providers to receive a grant for the installation of solar home systems in Uganda. The grant of $5 million has been awarded to the local subsidiaries of Engie Energy Access and d.light in Uganda. Angola (284 MW), South Africa (111.8 MW), Egypt (80 MW), Ghana (71.3 MW), and Mozambique (41.9 MW) were the top countries for solar capacity additions in 2022. Angola commissioned the 188 MW Biópio solar project and the 96 MW Baía Farta solar project.

Institute for Future Technologies and Research (IFTR), KK 15 Ave, Kigali, Rwanda is an international wing of Global Advanced Training & Educational Trust (India). We’ve been reaching out to young people for over 10 years at Institute of Solar Technology Academy of EV Technology and Energy materials Research Centre in India, helping them to connect with green energy and build their skills, knowledge and confidence to do something to protect our mother earth. Through our work with young people, their families, schools and communities, we’re aiming to inspire a new generation of sustainability champions and help young people make positive choices for a brighter future for our planet.

The Future of Solar Energy considers only the two widely recognized classes of technologies for converting solar energy into electricity — photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP), sometimes called solar thermal) — in their current and plausible future forms.

We concentrate on the use of grid-connected solar-powered generators to replace conventional sources of electricity. For the more than one billion people in the developing world who lack access to a reliable electric grid, the cost of small-scale PV generation is often outweighed by the very high value of access to electricity for lighting and charging mobile telephone and radio batteries. In addition, in some developing nations it may be economic to use solar generation to reduce reliance on imported oil, particularly if that oil must be moved by truck to remote generator sites.
Now, with solar photovoltaic technology becoming more and more affordable, scalable and accessible, that dream is getting closer to reality. This online course looks at solar PV in depth, examining its potential for today and the near future, exploring the technical challenges, and assessing the commercial opportunities. It offers you an unparalleled insight into the global solar power market, and will give you the knowledge and practical details to shape and lead the future of solar energy.

Solar Business Opportunities

The growing demand for green energy has made solar products more relevant in present times. The following are some of the recognized and undeveloped prospects for the solar energy business in India:

1. Solar Projects to Develop and Own
   You can also continue to work on your solar projects. All you have to do now is assemble a team of experts in solar energy and equipment. Utilize your previous experience executing solar projects by developing and implementing a solid business plan, acquiring funds, and finally constructing it.
2. Consultants for Solar Projects
   During the solar installation project, you will be expected to supervise, monitor, and offer recommendations as a consultant. You'll be in charge of guiding clients through the whole solar installation procedure. You can either work for yourself or for a consulting firm.
3. Auditing of Solar Energy
   This opportunity is for people who have a deep understanding of the energy situation and how to meet energy demands. This is a prerequisite for anyone interested in having solar panels installed on their property. Starting this business requires a small investment. An auditor can act as a salesperson, promoting environmental conservation through the use of natural and renewable energy sources such as solar power, as well as advising clients on how to regulate and limit their energy consumption.
4. Solar Product Distribution
   In India, starting a distribution company in the solar energy sector could be a great business opportunity. Once you've discovered a reputable solar product manufacturer in your area, you'll need to find distributors. Then you can start trading and making money.

Lithium-ion battery Business Opportunities

The lithium-ion battery market presents numerous business opportunities, driven by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and energy storage systems. Lithium-ion battery storage is increasingly becoming a necessity for MW-scale solar power plants, especially in regions with grid instability or limited grid capacity. The lithium-ion battery market is poised for significant growth, largely driven by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the integration of renewable energy sources like solar power into the grid.
Providing end-to-end solutions for designing, installing, and maintaining Energy Storage System, including solar storage systems for homes and businesses.

Lithium-ion battery business course focus on lithium-ion battery pack assembly for various applications like electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems (ESS), and solar applications.

1. Battery Pack Assembly: Assembling individual cells into packs tailored for specific applications like electric vehicles, energy storage, and consumer electronics.
2. Specialized Batteries: Developing and manufacturing batteries for niche markets like defense equipment, medical devices, and specialized industrial applications.
3. Integration with Renewables: ESS plays a vital role in balancing the intermittency of solar and wind power. Businesses can focus on developing and deploying ESS solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
