June 15, 2022

3 minutes read

Togo-based energy startup Daystar Power announced today the expansion of its solar power services targeted at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the country. This strategic move aims to provide reliable and cost-effective solar energy solutions for businesses seeking alternatives to traditional power sources, which can be expensive and unreliable in the region.

Daystar Power has grown its presence across West Africa by delivering solar energy systems that help companies reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. The company, founded in 2017, specializes in hybrid solar power solutions that combine solar energy with other power sources to ensure continuous electricity supply. This expansion reflects Daystar Power’s commitment to supporting economic growth through sustainable energy.

Addressing Energy Challenges for SMEs

In Togo and many parts of West Africa, small and medium-sized businesses often face challenges due to inconsistent power supply. Daystar Power’s offerings cater to these needs by providing systems designed for high energy efficiency and sustainability. By expanding its solar solutions, Daystar Power intends to help SMEs reduce their dependence on the national grid, lower operational costs, and enhance productivity.

Daystar Power CEO, Jasper Graf von Hardenberg, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting businesses. “Our expanded solar services will enable Togolese SMEs to access affordable and clean energy, freeing them from the high costs of diesel generators and providing a more reliable source of power,” he stated.

Enhancing Cost Savings and Efficiency

The expansion includes customized solar power installations designed specifically for SMEs, which range from small businesses to medium-scale enterprises that require dependable energy for their daily operations. These installations will be offered with flexible financing options, allowing businesses to adopt solar energy without large upfront investments.

According to Daystar Power, companies can save up to 25-40% in energy costs over time by switching to solar. The company also provides ongoing maintenance and support to ensure that these systems perform optimally, further reducing energy-related expenses for clients.

Sustainable Growth and Environmental Impact

By promoting solar energy, Daystar Power aligns its services with global sustainability goals. The company’s solar solutions help reduce carbon emissions, supporting Togo’s objective to transition towards more sustainable energy sources. Daystar Power is actively contributing to the country’s green energy transition while supporting the local economy.

Plans for Further Expansion

With this expansion, Daystar Power plans to increase its workforce and enhance local support for its installations. This initiative will allow the startup to train more professionals in solar technology, creating job opportunities in the renewable energy sector. Daystar Power also has future plans to extend its services further across West Africa.

Conclusion

Daystar Power’s expansion of solar services to SMEs marks a significant step toward enhancing energy reliability for businesses in Togo. By providing affordable, sustainable solutions, Daystar Power aims to empower local enterprises to operate efficiently while contributing to a cleaner environment. As the company scales up its operations, it is expected to play a key role in driving renewable energy adoption across the region
