QSolar has shipped 56 of its 230W Spraytek79 panels to Morocco to help complete the final testing phase of the country’s three latest solar projects. Testing of the systems, which have capacities of 30MW, 6MW and 1MW and a total value of US$51.21 million, is being carried out by the Moroccan branch of Allied Solwin, Solwin Maroc Sarl.

“This shipment of demonstration panels marks QSolar's entry into the African market,” QSolar’s president and CEO, Andreas Tapakoudes, said. “Africa represents a growth market for the Company as most African countries face a significant need for electricity, do not have a reliable electricity grid supply network and in many remote areas do not have any means of electricity at all. The advantages of QSolar's innovative Spraytek79 solar panels can assist with many of the power issues faced by African markets.”
