A FIRST IN THE EAST AFRICAN POWER MARKET FOR TRYBA ENERGY: A LARGE SCALE PV PROJECT USING A SOLAR TRACKER DEVICE

In Uganda Tryba Energy built in 2019 the first large scale African PV project to use solar tracking technology, which allows the solar panels to remain directly oriented towards the sun during the course of the day thanks to a motorised support structure , thereby increasing the level of electricity produced.
The site of the project, near Jinja in Uganda, is particularly well suited to the use of a tracking system.

This is because the closer you are to the equator, the greater the efficiency and production enhancements obtained. In this instance annual production achieved in KWh is 22% greater than a traditional fixed structure equivalent to some 19500 MWh which corresponds to the requirements of some 20000 Ugandan households.
This plant, which is a first, was commissioned in February 2019.
Tryba Energy is particularly proud of this achievement which combines market leadership and innovation while representing another concrete step in the implementation of our strategy for the renewable energy market.
