VICTORIA ISLAND, LAGOS – Victor Emmanuel, the Regional Sales Director for West Africa at Astronergy, has articulated the unique qualities that position the global solar giant as an unmatched partner for the region’s renewable energy transition.
Speaking exclusively to DASCENARIO at the GENNEX Colloquium 2025, Emmanuel detailed the company’s nearly two-decade legacy of technological innovation, sustainable manufacturing, and proven performance that distinguishes it in a competitive market.
Emmanuel emphasized that under the esteemed CHINT Group, Astronergy is not merely a manufacturer but an “intelligent manufacturing enterprise” with a foundational focus on photovoltaic cells and modules since 2006.
“It is one of the earliest private enterprises in China to set foot in the photovoltaic field,” he stated, underscoring a heritage that has endowed it with the capacity to design and manufacture cutting-edge solar technology tailored for diverse market applications.
A key strength highlighted was the versatility of Astronergy’s ASTRO series modules.
“Both its bifacial and monofacial ASTRO series modules using large-size wafers could be perfectly applied in various scenarios of utility-scale power stations, commercial & industrial (C&I) PV systems, and residential PV systems,” Emmanuel explained.
This adaptability, from massive power plants to individual homes, ensures the technology meets the specific needs of the West African energy landscape.
Beyond product specifications, the Sales Director pointed to Astronergy’s formidable global footprint—with operations in over 140 countries, 11 intelligent manufacturing bases worldwide, and a staunch commitment to green manufacturing principles.
This global credibility is backed by a trophy cabinet of international accolades, including being rated the “Overall Highest Achiever” by RETC, being honored as a “Top Performer” by Kiwa PVEL for nine years, and receiving the “Gold Trust Mark” for quality insurance.
Crucially for the African market, Emmanuel noted Astronergy’s active membership in the Africa Solar Industry Association (AFSIA) and the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA), signaling a dedicated commitment to understanding and contributing to the continent’s unique solar ecosystem.
By combining its tier-1 manufacturing pedigree, a mission to create a “net-zero carbon world,” and a deeply rooted global presence, Astronergy presented a compelling case for being a sustainable and high-performance choice for West Africa’s burgeoning solar energy projects.
