Hanergy Launches CSR Campaign to Bring Accessible Solar Powered Lighting to Africa
Company’s innovative thin-film solar powered “Humbrella” to help increase access to clean and free electricity
BEIJING, April 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Hanergy, a pioneering multinational clean energy company, today announced the launch of its “Lighting Africa” Project, under which the company will donate its first off line bath of solar-powered Humbrella, which is worth of a million RMB (US$160,000) to Africa through the China NGO Network for International Exchange.
The Hanergy 2018 Humbrella CSR Launch Ceremony was attended by ambassadors from 22 African nations as well as representatives from 8 NGOs, 10 multi-national companies and stakeholders from various circles.
Humbrella is the latest addition to the company’s growing roster of mobile energy solutions. Combining the world’s highest conversion efficiency thin-film solar panels with the common umbrella, the Humbrella integrates four functions including off-grid power supply, electricity storage, night lighting, and terminal charging. The Humbrella has a diameter of 2.7 meters and weighs only 8.8 kilograms due to Hanergy’s amazingly light & flexible thin film solar panels.
Currently, only 37% of Africans have access to a stable power supply and electricity shortages routinely prevent children from having enough time for study, seriously impacting their education. The Humbrella offers a practical solution to this problem by converting sunshine and store as much as 40000 mAh electricity, ensuring a 10-hour high quality reading time for children, or charging more than 10 3000mAh smart phones. In addition to lighting, the Humbrella is equipped with 4 UBS ports, which could be plugged for lamps, small fans, or electric insect repellent.
At a speech delivered at the launch event, Hanergy CEO Li Hejun said, “It is an honor for us to be able to use our unique mobile energy and thin film solar capabilities to contribute to public welfare in Africa. We hope that the Humbrella will light up the lives of many Africans and open up new possibilities for the future of African development.”
“I take this opportunity to invite Hanergy Group to consider the possibility of investing in the energy sector in Senegal by taking advantage of the many opportunities and incentives that my government offers to foreign investors,” said Mr. Mamadou Ndiaye, Senegal ambassador to China.
Although in the popular imagination Africa has a beautiful and clean natural environment, the fact is that air pollution is very serious in many areas due to the widespread use of diesel power generators. These generators emit toxic and harmful gases and cause respiratory and heart disease while also contributing to the occurrence of acid rain, which threatens food production and biodiversity. Because the Humbrella leverages thin-film solar power generation technology to directly convert solar energy into electricity, it can replace diesel generators and achieve “zero emission” energy.
The Humbrella launch event in Beijing also saw the establishment of Hanergy’s public welfare initiative, the “Lighting Africa Foundation.” Open to participants from all over the world, the foundation will match every purchase of a Humbrella sent to Africa with one US dollar to be invested in long-term poverty alleviation and public welfare activities, thus doubly contributing to the public benefit of local communities in Africa.
“As China’s largest NGO, we welcome more companies like Hanergy could contribute to African people’s welfare. Hanergy provides a good mobile energy solution to Africa and sets a good example of corporate social responsibility. Hopefully more organizations and companies could join the project in making the world a brighter place,” said Liu Kaiyang, Deputy Secretary-General of China NGO Network for International Exchanges.
About Hanergy
Hanergy, the world’s largest clean energy company, has a comprehensive clean energy solution, covering hydro-power, wind-power, and solar power. Since 2009, Hanergy focuses on thin-film solar power research and development, and is launching a series of products including solar roof tiles, foldable solar-paper power bank, solar backpack, Building Integrated Photovoltaics, solar roads and many others.

Stellar Energy named top 10 energy storage system provider in 2018
JACKSONVILLE, Florida, April 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Stellar Energy (www.stellar-energy.net)—a custom energy solutions provider for the power generation, utilities, LNG and data center markets—has been named a top 10 energy storage system provider internationally by Energy CIO Insights magazine. The top 10 were selected as providers that exhibit competence and innovation in delivering efficient and cost-effective energy storage systems.
“As a company, we have adapted to a changing and demanding new energy landscape where transition, integration and reaction are the new factors,” explains CEO and Chairman Peter Gibson.
Stellar Energy integrates turbine inlet air chilling (TIAC)—a reliable method of enhancing power output during periods of high ambient temperature and relative humidity—with thermal energy storage (TES) to help customers meet peak demand requirements without the need for additional conventional generation. Stellar Energy uses TES solutions as a thermal battery, enabling plants to build and store energy in a thermal capacity to offset the power required to run the TIAC system during off-peak hours.
This innovation serves especially well in the area of renewable power integration. As utilities seek to integrate renewable generation with conventional gas-powered generation, they must deal with the fluctuating nature of technologies such as solar and wind and the effect it has on predictable performance. Stellar Energy’s solutions help power plants optimize gas-powered generation capacity to more efficiently integrate with renewables for maximum reliability and output.
“As a total solution provider, we help our clients utilize and balance their renewable assets with their conventional gas-fired assets in the most efficient manner,” states Gibson. “TES as a thermal battery is the currency they can use to achieve this.”
Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, with offices in Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Hong Kong and Houston, Stellar Energy has delivered over 125 projects worldwide in 14 countries while helping clients recover over 3 gigawatts of lost power.
