Faso Energy has begun manufacturing solar pannels in the first solar module factory in West Africa. Located in the industrial zone of the Kossodo district in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, will produce both mono and multicrystalline modules. The panels, which will have a power range of 100 W to 325 W, will be commercialized mostly in the African markets.
The facility was built with the support of the country’s government and Spanish equipment provider Mondragon, which has supplied a semi-automatic PV production line for the facility.
The factory, which will have an initial capacity of 30 MW, will produce both mono and multicrystalline modules of 4 busbars to 5 busbars with a TUV certification for the IEC6125 and IEC61730 standards. The panels, which will have a power range of 100 W to 325 W, will be commercialized mostly in the African markets, and it is expected to deliver 60-100 PV panels per day.
