2020: In the forthcoming ten years, the global energy transformation will be even more focused, than before. The aim is clear: achieve the 17 sustainable development goals and double the share of renewable energy power by 2030. Until the end of the decade, renewable power should supply 57% of worldwide energy. A tough job for the solar industry. read more
“Spain is one of the countries leading the solar renaissance in Europe,” stated the SolarPower Europe Policy Analyst Raffaele Rossi. In October 2018, the Spanish government officially cancelled the infamous “sun tax”, which hindered and discouraged the development of solar energy in Spain. It is therefore no wonder, that in 2018, 235 MW were added to the national grid. Compared to 2017, the installed capacity increased by 94%. read more
In today’s globalised and connected world, companies often aim to expand across their national borders. A domicile company in Switzerland offers an attractive way to enhance business activities and to enter the European as well as other markets. A representative office in the Swiss canton of Zug furthermore underlines the aspiration and highly professional background of a company taking its business form the highly reputable country of Switzerland to the world. There are many reasons and advantages as to why you should incorporate in Switzerland. As a Swiss – based company, we have summarised the five most interesting ones: read more
Over the last years, electricity prices have significantly increased. Meanwhile, the costs for renewable energy systems have stabilized at a remarkably low level. At the end of June 2019, various American media releases stated that the U.S. receive more electricity from renewable energies than coal – a big step for an industrial nation. But why seems such a development impossible for a continent like Africa? Although the renewable energy use is increasing year by year, fossil energy still dominates the electricity sector. read more
The Swiss-headquartered renewable energy generation and energy storage company The meeco Group has just launched its latest solar PV mounting solution. The sun2rope system offers a totally flexible and innovative way to build a solar energy system without the application of obstructing substructures harming the environment. By mounting the solar modules on special high-quality ropes, which are attached to walls or pillars, a totally customised clean energy supply can be established nearly any-where. meeco is currently executing the first sun2rope projects in Kenya for commercial clients. read more
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are best known for their deserts, oil and wealth. Both also offer perfect conditions for solar energy projects, which, however, underperform compared to their given potential in terms of installed capacity. Oil and Gas are still energy suppliers number one. But there is a change in mind: Since the beginning of 2019, both countries have had a fundamental rethink and are now eager to improve their generation of renewable energy. The meeco Group through its local joint venture oursun Saudi Arabia accompanies this development by realising clean energy projects with sustainable solutions.
In today´s fast moving times, a life without a stable and sustainable energy connection is un-imaginable. In nearly every point of life, a continuous energy supply is required. However, this does not come naturally in every part of the world. What happens, when people in remote are-as need medical help and have no possibility to reach a centralized medical institution? Being aware of this problem affecting millions of people, Dr. Abdul Bari Khan, CEO of the Indus Health Network, initiated the Primary Care Program, a mobile clinic container solution in Paki-stan. The Swiss-headquartered renewable energy generation and storage provider The meeco Group supports this program with its intelligent energy management systems sun2safe.
The Saudi Arabian renewable energy company Energy Systems and The meeco Group part-nered in 2018 in order to support the country’s clean energy approach and equip private as well as commercial customers with sustainable energy solutions. Taking into account the excel-lent preconditions for renewable energy systems in the country, the declining prices for PV technologies and the growing interest of Saudi Arabia’s government to shift from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources, the exploitation of solar energy represents a promising oppor-tunity for private as well as commercial consumers. Within the scope of the founded joint venture company oursun Saudi Arabia, the first four sun2roof solar projects with a total capac-ity of 146.6 kWp have now been completed and ensure an annual clean energy generation of about 250 MWh.
Having entered the renewable energy market in Madagascar in 2018, The meeco Group is about to start the installation of the first small scale solar projects on the island. meeco’s international team is currently performing the last installation preparations for two 45 kWp sun2park solar solutions, energy custom-made for carports, to be commissioned near Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. The projects were developed in close cooperation with Groupe Filatex, a renowned Malagasy company, with its subsidiary ENELEC being one of the leading energy producers on the island.
From 7th to 10th of December 2018, the Global Sustainable Tourism Conference 2018 took place in Maun, Botswana.
