Built around the site

Solar and storage for high-irradiance, generator-reliant sites

Strong solar resource makes PV attractive for many Burkinabè operations, but the business case depends on how much generation the site can use and how it integrates with grid supply and diesel generators. Load analysis, fuel consumption, operating hours and critical loads determine whether solar-only or a solar-and-storage hybrid is the stronger option.

Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso host manufacturing, agro-processing and commercial applications, while mining operations across the country present remote, high-demand hybrid power requirements. Heat, Harmattan dust and seasonal rainfall shape module selection, cleaning plans, cooling of electrical equipment and maintenance access.

Generation, storage & integration

Solar energy solutions in Burkina Faso

01

Industrial solar power

Rooftop, ground-mounted and carport systems engineered around production loads, roof or land suitability, protection coordination and future expansion. Capacity follows feasible on-site use and electrical constraints.

Industrial solar EPC →
02

Commercial solar installations

PV for offices, hotels, hospitals, schools, retail properties and logistics facilities. Match generation to cooling, refrigeration, occupancy, operating schedules and essential electrical services.

Assess a commercial site →
03

Battery energy storage

Store electricity for later use, support selected critical loads or manage demand where the operating case justifies it. Sizing considers usable energy, discharge power, cycling, reserve and losses.

Battery storage engineering →
04

Solar, grid & generator hybrids

Controls coordinate power sources while respecting generator loading, electrical protection and site reliability. Fuel savings depend on demand, generator operation and how much solar the facility can use.

Discuss hybrid power →
05

Residential & home solar

Residential and small commercial solar can combine rooftop panels, hybrid inverters, batteries and monitoring. Size the system using consumption, essential backup circuits, roof space and the battery autonomy required during outages; dust and heat affect long-term output and maintenance.

Practical answers

Solar energy questions in Burkina Faso

Can solar reduce diesel use at a mine or factory in Burkina Faso?

A properly engineered hybrid can supply part of the site’s demand and reduce generator runtime. Savings depend on solar production, fuel costs, generator loading, operating hours and controls.

How does dust affect solar performance?

Dust reduces module output between cleanings. Design and maintenance plans account for soiling, cleaning frequency, water availability, module tilt and inverter and switchgear cooling.

How is battery backup duration determined?

Engineers assess usable battery energy, discharge power, selected loads, operating reserve and losses. A capacity figure in MWh alone does not establish backup duration.

What should I provide for a solar assessment?

Share the site location, electricity bills or generator fuel records, operating hours, critical loads, available roof or ground area and your reliability requirements.
