Aptech Africa, a company specialising in the supply of water and off-grid systems, is entering the solar market in Southern Sudan. The company, based in Kampala, Uganda, chose the containerised systems for their easy and quick installation, with batteries for energy storage.
Norwegian firm Scatec Solar has linked up with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to provide a solar-plus-storage system to one of its humanitarian operations in South Sudan,
SustainSolar delivered their off-grid system in a 20-foot container equipped with SMA solar and battery inverters and BYD batteries. This is the first solar-battery-hybrid power
Even before the outbreak of conflict in 2013, South Sudan had the lowest electricity consumption per capita in the world and ranked near the bottom in many global development indicators (IEA, 2016). 1 The modest progress that was achieved during the peaceful years between 2005 and 2013 has largely been undone by the conflict since

These energy storage systems come in a 10ft container. Designed to meet the requirements for off- and on-grid applications, they are ideal in combination with renewable stations, providing up to 9,2 MWh of storage capacity ―with 16 ZBC 250-575 units connected in parallel.

Aptech Africa recently successfully designed, built and installed the first off-grid solar battery hybrid power system in South Sudan. This USAID-funded project, developed by AECOM International, incorporated a one-of-a-kind containerized PV storage solution by
South Sudan Electricity Corporation plans to install a 33 kV distribution network to increase network capacity, allowing it to supply more customers, including those located far
A just-commissioned solar and battery storage system will reduce diesel consumption by at least 80% at a base for 300 humanitarian workers in South Sudan, managed by the UN''s International
Norwegian firm Scatec Solar has linked up with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to provide a solar-plus-storage system to one of its humanitarian operations in South Sudan, while it plans to expand into other emergency zones in the region.
Despite the global campaign for energy transition towards renewable sources, South Sudan''s electricity generation is exclusively diesel-based with an installed capacity of 12MW in Juba against 154MW demand.
South Sudan Electricity Corporation plans to install a 33 kV distribution network to increase network capacity, allowing it to supply more customers, including those located far from generation centers, while also reducing network losses.
Their largest market is the Central Equitoria state. Founded in 2011 and opened its first branch in Asmara, Eritrea. Branches located in South Sudan, Uganda, and Dubai. In South Sudan, they have shops in Yei, Wau, Juba and Malakal. -Specialise in large solar home systems with a minimum capacity of 600W onwards.
The solar PV market in South Sudan is growing steadily, but minimal information is available. Additionally, most companies operating in the country within the value chain do not have an online presence. As such, the study mainly relied on primary information collected from the companies with which key informant interviews were conducted.
Map of States and Administrative Units in South Sudan. Data was collected using three main methods: household surveys, institutional surveys, and focus group discussions. a. Household Surveys The study was a nationally representative survey.
Developing the of-grid products supply chain and product line The South Sudan off-grid market is dominated by non-specialised vendors and retailers who sell other products, including off-grid products. Most of the products are not quality-verified, nor do they receive any incentives to target end-users who cannot aford a one-time upfront payment.
Although the uptake of solar home systems is still nascent within South Sudan, there will be a growing need for waste management and recycling facilities as uptake increases.
Another impediment to developing the of-grid solar sector in South Sudan is the limited capacity of technicians to install, maintain and repair the solar systems (Mozersky & Kammen, 2018).
