REDAVIA in the media
REDAVIA's convenient lease-to-own solution empowers Ghanaian and Kenyan businesses to grow. REDAVIA is one of the pioneering solar companies supported by the Energise Africa initiative, a joint venture between Lendahand and Ethex
What the project investment will enable
With the funds from this raise, REDAVIA will pre-finance, procure, import and install up to 7 solar units into leases with commercial and industrial (C&I) customers in Ghana or Kenya. Once the unit is deployed, REDAVIA's trained, local specialists manage the operation and maintenance of each solar farm.
The solar units to be funded follow REDAVIA’s standardized specifications of the FTS-80GM (85kWP), FTS-40CP (50kWp) or FTS-60RM (70kWp). The FTS-80GM is REDAVIA’s premier solar farm solution and is made up of 300 solar panels which take up a 40 x 30m space. The units are prefabricated and shipped to Ghana or Kenya where cabling, concrete blocks and other local materials are purchased and expedited to the customer site. Once the material has arrived, the container is unpacked, and a solar plant is installed within 2 days. The units are then operated in line with Ghanaian and Kenyan regulations under lease-to-own contracts, with an average lease term of 12 years.
This loan will enable the companies to use up to 675MWhs per year of clean energy. The Regional Maritime University, SGS and Red Sea Housing Services are all organisations who benefit from REDAVIA's solar unit systems. Click on the hyperlinks above to read case studies on each of these companies.
