Sales and investment data from the Global Off-Grid Lighting Association (GOGLA) provide details on the off-grid solar sector in Cameroon. From mid-2016 until late 2018, portable solar lanterns with single lights or single lights with mobile charging were the main systems sold in
This research examines the feasibility of using an off-grid solar/microhydro renewable energy system for affordable electricity generation to meet the power demand of a rural area in
The 40KW off-grid solar system installed in Mr. Kennedy''s project comprises 100 pieces of 330W monocrystalline solar panels, two MPPT solar controllers of 70A, one PV combiner box, 1pcs solar inverter of 40KW 3phase 240VDC, and 40 pieces of Gel batteries of 250AH 12V.
This research examines the feasibility of using an off-grid solar/microhydro renewable energy system for affordable electricity generation to meet the power demand of a rural area in Cameroon. Here, the system is sized in line with the solar/microhydro resources and the power demand of the location.
REIc currently operates in Sabongari, located in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. REIc will use the lessons learned from Sabongari to provide clean and reliable electricity in five nearby villages using ISV''s SunBlazer type 2kW
REIc currently operates in Sabongari, located in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. REIc will use the lessons learned from Sabongari to provide clean and reliable electricity in five nearby villages using ISV''s SunBlazer type 2kW DC/AC mix-grid system and a 19kW power upgrade to the existing Sabongari AC Microgrid.
This report provides a comprehensive and detailed review of solar home systems (SHSs), mini-grids, productive use of energy, and other aspects of the off-grid solar value chain. Additionally, this report includes details on policy and regulatory issues, the structure and historical context of the energy sector, and gender mainstreaming.
In 2020, EDF partnered with upOwa and Solkamtech, two Cameroonian companies specialising in the distribution of stand-alone solar kits, to market 300 solar systems manufactured by the German company Solarworx. The aim of this pilot project is to promote sustainable energy to households and services outside the distribution network.

upOwa provides systems to off-grid households using a lease-to-own model. Customers pay a deposit and then make monthly payments on a mobile phone money platform with targeted repayment periods of 18-24 months.
This article describes a plan and demonstration system for the large-scale deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery minigrids throughout the 10 regions of Cameroon. The developer for this effort, Renewable Energy Innovators—Cameroon (REIc), has been a core developer of the IEEE Smart Village family of minigrid products (please see
The new microgrid technology enables the interconnection of existing solar home systems into a 60V DC distribution grid, where excess solar generation capacity of individual systems and unused battery capacity can be shared at the grid level. This allows to include also villiagers into the grid who don''t have their own Solar Home System.
Cameroon 21st December 2021 – Solarworx has expanded it’s pilot program for interconnecting Solar Home Systems to a DC Microgrid to Cameroon.
PAYG solar home systems project to connect one million people in Cameroon to clean electricity for the first time, with nearly 140,000 already connected. Approximately one million people in Cameroon are expected to gain access to clean electricity for the first time through this ambitious pay-as-you-go (PAYG) solar home systems (SHS) initiative.
Cameroon device monitoring Solarworx Solar Home Systems “Solego 80/160” are equipped with GSM modems that allow monitoring on an hourly basis depending on the network coverage. The energy data provided during the last 30 days from Cameroon can be tracked on the dashboard below.
Despite low levels of energy access, more than 70% of homes in Cameroon have mobile phones, making the payment system broadly accessible. upOwa has set its sights on rapid growth, using the experience of its in-house technical teams and reputation for reliability and customer service to build capacity and scale up activities.
REIc will utilize the knowledge, experiences and support acquired through this pilot project to accelerate the electrification of the region. The local team is led by Numfor Jude, the founder and CEO of REIc. Jude and his core team members have more than ten years of experience in the electrification of off-grid communities in Cameron.
REIc currently operates in Sabongari, located in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. REIc will use the lessons learned from Sabongari to provide clean and reliable electricity in five nearby villages using ISV’s SunBlazer type 2kW DC/AC mix-grid system and a 19kW power upgrade to the existing Sabongari AC Microgrid.
