First solar panel made in Ethiopia
SKY Energy International and METEC of Ethiopia have made the first panel in Ethiopia. SKY Energy International was given the opportunity to install the first and only solar panel manufacturing facility in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
SKY Energy International recognized the huge responsibility associated with this feat and took the challenge.
SKY Energy International handled the logistics of the various machines involved in manufacturing the solar panels as well as the initial purchase of raw materials for the factory. Training was also conducted for the Ethiopian operators in the USA. The final phase of training at the factory is expected to take place on February 2013. The installation of the factory was successfully completed in December 2012 at which time our engineers laminated, tested and produced the first solar panel made in Ethiopia.
