On May 16, 2025, Golden Solar and the AKANI Group officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement in South Africa. This partnership aims to deepen collaboration in three key areas: distributed photovoltaic applications, localized component manufacturing, and centralized power station development. Together, we will promote high-quality growth in South Africa's renewable energy sector and accelerate the country’s green energy transition.
Key Areas of Cooperation
Distributed Photovoltaics: Golden Solar will provide customized HJT (heterojunction technology) solutions for various commercial scenarios under the AKANI Group, such as shopping malls, hotels, and retail spaces. By integrating efficient HJT modules into building structures, each facility can become a self-sufficient micro-power plant.
Localized Manufacturing: The two parties plan to jointly invest in an HJT component production line in South Africa. This initiative will introduce Golden Solar's mature HJT packaging technology and quality control systems, reducing supply chain costs and supporting local industrial development.
Centralized Power Stations: They have reached a framework consensus on developing large-scale solar power stations exceeding 100 MW. These projects aim to optimize electricity output through integrated energy storage systems and contribute clean energy to South Africa's national grid.
Significance of the Partnership
This strategic alliance marks a significant milestone in Golden Solar's global expansion. It exemplifies the synergy between Chinese PV technology and Africa's energy revolution. Through technological exchange, industrial collaboration, and ecosystem development, this partnership is expected to set a new benchmark for China-Africa cooperation in the field of renewable energy.
As a leading company in HJT technology, Golden Solar has been actively expanding its international presence. With operations spanning over 30 countries and regions worldwide, the company continues to enhance its market share and influence globally. This collaboration with the AKANI Group further solidifies Golden Solar's commitment to driving sustainable energy transformation both in Africa and around the world.
