First Solar in Africa

For over a decade, First Solar’s PV modules have been producing clean energy in Africa.

Our unparalleled experience across the solar value chain – from project development, financing, engineering and construction to operations and maintenance – has enabled us to deliver high quality and reliable solar energy in a variety of applications in South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Burkina Faso.

Through innovation and our unique capabilities in module production, we create synergies that continue to drive down the cost of solar electricity, providing energy security and a hedge against fluctuating energy prices.
