Kenya's M-Kopa hopes to install at least 500,000 locally-made solar panels over the next two years, after it signed a supply deal with Solinc, manufacturer of solar electricity products.
M-Kopa which previously imported its smaller 8W panels begin will now source all its photovoltaic panels in Kenya as it looks to grow its off-grid capacity from the current 1.85MW to about 6.6MW, by 2020.
