Micoe Solar Signs Landmark Agreement at Power & Energy Africa 2025, Delivering 24/7 Renewable Energy Solutions to Kenya

Nairobi, June 28, 2025 – Micoe Solar Energy Co., Ltd., the world’s leading solar water heater brand, has secured a transformative partnership with a key East African client during Solar Africa 2025. The agreement, signed at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, advances Micoe’s mission to provide 24-hour continuous electricity access in drought-stricken regions through its cutting-edge solar technologies.

Deal Highlights: Innovation Meets Urgent Market Needs

Cold-Climate Solar Breakthrough:

Micoe’s solar water heaters engineered for Kenya’s high-altitude zones (e.g., Mount Kenya), where temperatures plummet and sunlight is limited. The technology retains heat for 72+ hours, enabling reliable hot water without grid dependency—a critical solution as droughts cripple Kenya’s hydro-dependent power system (60% of supply).

Replacing Costly, Polluting Alternatives:

The agreement targets farms and households currently using diesel/gas heaters, offering 40% operational cost savings. For partners like solar entrepreneur Elijah Kairu, this means "efficient warm water during cold seasons" without fossil fuels.

Scaling Across East Africa:

Initial deployments will cover 50+ sites in Kenya’s arid north (e.g., Isiolo County), with plans to expand to Tanzania and Ethiopia by 2026—nations facing similar 200MW annual energy deficits 16.

Why Kenya Chose Micoe: Solving a National Crisis

Energy Emergency: Droughts have slashed hydropower output, forcing Kenya to rely on expensive diesel backups. Peak demand (1,200MW) exceeds non-hydro capacity, causing widespread shortages 24.

Government Targets: Kenya aims to boost generation to 9,000 MW by 2030, prioritizing solar to replace vulnerable hydro systems 48.

Consumer Impact: Micoe offers an one-stop home energy solution. The 24-hour Continuous Electricity system displayed at this exhibition not only meets the electricity needs of Kenyan customers but is also more environmentally friendly.

Next Steps: Accelerating Africa’s Solar Revolution

Micoe will leverage this agreement to:

Hybrid Solutions: Integrate solar water heaters with battery storage for true 24/7 power.

Expand the product line: Nowadays, more and more customers from Kenya are interested in heat pump. As a leading manufacturer, who is a pioneering manufacturer in industry exploration, Micoe’s heat pumps have unlimited possibilities in the Kenyan market.

"Chinese solar tech isn’t just imported—it’s rebuilt for Africa. Our heaters conquer cold nights; our partnerships conquer energy poverty."
