Tesla-backedZOLA Electric unveils its latest solution, FLEX MAX. It''s the biggest off-grid solar home solution, including the largest battery and solar panel technology on the global market. The launch enhances ZOLA''s network by offering a product that caters to customers in both off-grid and on-grid areas.
Bill Lenihan, Chief Executive Officer of ZOLA Electric, said: "We are thrilled to be adding FLEX MAX to ZOLA''s market-leading Enterprise technology platform, delivering distributed, clean, digitalenergysolutions to those that need it most. FLEX MAX offer significant hardware and software improvements and the most advanced battery technology that will be a game-changer in improving the reliability ofenergysystems in emerging markets.
"Through our valuable partnerships with local integrators and distributors, our solutions are installed in homes, businesses, schools and hospitals in 10 countries across four continents, serving over two million customers. ZOLA''s platform of hybrid battery and storage solutions, monitored and managed by VISION, is the world''s first fully integrated, modular and intelligent platform purpose-built for theEnergyAccess sector."
ZOLA''s B2B model delivers clean, reliable and affordableenergyto emerging markets globally, distributed through leading integrators in local markets including EDF, Shell, Econet/DPA and to emerging DRE (distributed renewableenergy) integrators like Blue Camel in Nigeria. Its B2B model enables its integrator partners in local markets to efficiently build and manage networks that deliver community-level electrification to deliverEnergyAccess where it is needed most.
Zola Electric aims to solve access to reliable energy by providing distributed community grids, The task is "one of the world''s greatest problems", Zola boss Bill Lenihan has said, setting out plans to tackle this, grid by community grid.
The company has been working on the problem for more than a decade. Its first port of call was Tanzania. "The problem to solve was kerosene," Lenihan said. Zola offered smart connected solar panels and a lithium ion battery.
In many ways, Zola continues to provide this. "We''re still proliferating smart devices, we''re still replacing inefficient energy. Today, though, we''re providing a platform for smart connected devices to deliver community-level electricity."
The US-based company announced the launch of its first distributed minigrid in Rwanda, in November 2022. The project provides more than 1,000 connections, connecting up "hospitals, schools, houses. It''s everybody. Our mission is to provide community level electrification for 3 billion people – and our architecture can support anyone."
Lenihan noted the different roles that went into providing the system. "There are three different industries in providing distributed energy as architecture. You need the technology, which we do, the integrators who meet customers and build the kit and then you need financing."
Zola''s technology can scale, with manufacturing in a centralised facility, and more companies are able to provide the integration service. "Financing is the biggest impediment, it''s really hard."
"The amount of capital required is in the trillions of dollars," Lenihan said. Zola had initially provided financing to customers, underwriting about $150 million, but it was unable to keep this up. "We''re not a bank, there''s no way to do it," he said, citing the cost of capital.
"We''re starting to see development institutions, governments, institutional capital enter the space." The appeal is straightforward, though. "This is energy, it''s essential. If there''s a lower-cost better product, customers will pay."
Zola can provide its system in different environments, Lenihan said. He cited a recent project in Haiti, where a move to Zola''s technology provided an alternative to problematic liquid supply lines.
Producing power from the sun, for local renewable energy, is more resilient than the alternatives, he continued. "If we can do it in Haiti we can do it anywhere, we can do it Papua New Guinea, we can do it in Ukraine. There are more and more companies capable of carrying out the integration work and financiers will come. Distributed energy will rule emerging markets."
The agreement recently signed with Distributed Power Africa (DPA), Econet’s subsidiary, will enable Zola Electric to accelerate the distribution of its equipment in Africa. South of the Sahara, where it is expanding its presence, the company distributes solar home systems that accelerate the continent’s electrification process.
Under the new partnership, DPA will distribute Zola’s products in nine countries in sub-Saharan Africa for use in a variety of applications including residential, commercial and mini-grids. Under the terms of the agreement signed by the two companies, DPA will initially purchase over $8 million worth of Zola products “as part of a larger commitment”.
Zola’s Infinity system will be accompanied by Zola Vision, Zola’s fleet and network management software platform, which provides control and visualization of the performance of the solar photovoltaic system. According to the San Francisco, U.S.-based company, its technology also allows for proactive remote and on-site adjustments, including timely capacity upgrades, before customers notice a decline in service quality.
The partnership signed with Zola Electric will also allow DPA to expand and diversify the activities of its subsidiary Ugesi Energy. The company installs mini green grids in rural areas, such as in Ndolwane in Zimbabwe.
