The Cameroonian ambassador led a delegation of African envoys to SANY Group's photovoltaic manufacturing base in Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, on the Chinese mainland.
SANY, a privately owned company and China's largest heavy machinery manufacturer, operates in over 150 countries and regions. The visit gave ambassadors a behind-the-scenes look at the company's state-of-the-art solar panel production and modular energy systems.
Delegates expressed strong interest in tailored solutions for areas with limited or no access to power grid, from remote mines and construction sites to rural communities and schools.
'China offers good energy solutions for Africa,' said the Cameroonian ambassador. 'These technologies can transform lives by bringing reliable power where it's needed most.'
The delegation explored compact off-grid kits designed for easy installation and maintenance. Attendees also reviewed site-specific case studies, demonstrating how modular solar units have powered clinics and classrooms in challenging environments.
With its global footprint and commitment to innovation, SANY is positioning itself as a key partner in South-South cooperation on clean energy. Ambassadors took networking opportunities to discuss future pilot projects and knowledge-sharing platforms.
As energy access remains a critical development goal across the continent, China's photovoltaic expertise could play a vital role in accelerating sustainable growth, especially in remote and underserved areas.
For young entrepreneurs, activists, and tech enthusiasts, this partnership signals fresh opportunities to collaborate on real-world solutions that bridge innovation and impact.
