Solar powered solutions

Samsung Africa launched its Solar Powered Health Centre model, marking the start of a large-scale medical initiative on the continent. The mobile centres are built for use in remote rural areas, and intended to eliminate the economic and geographic barriers that prevent people across Africa from obtaining quality medical treatment.

The Solar Powered Health Centre is designed to reach as many people as possible, as regularly as possible. Mounted on a truck and manned by qualified medical professionals, the centres will move from one area to the next providing a range of eye, ear, blood and dental medical services to the public.

In addition to this, as part of its drive towards providing Built For Africa products, Samsung has developed an alternative that will provide easy power accessibility at an affordable price and that does not require the use of non-renewable resources for its operation – the Samsung Solar Power Generator. This product is therefore perfectly positioned for any facility where alternative energy sources are required. The Samsung Solar Power Generator, equivalent to that of a 15 KVa diesel generator, capitalizes on the one resource that Africa has an abundance of – sunlight.  As well as the benefits provided by implementing a green energy source, the generator can provide power for up to 8 years without any additional maintenance, and has a lifespan of up to 25 years, ensuring a reliability-centered power solution.
