World Panel Zambia Ltd. launched the World Panel solar panels that charge mobile phones as fast as a wall plug at Lusaka’s Taj Pamodzi Hotel.
The first shipment contained thousands of World Panel 500 combo-pack units with the patented solar panel technology plus a bundled 5,000-milliamp Powerbank and bright ten-bulb LED light. The technology will be distributed in rural and urban COMESA regions. The company indicated that it plans to ship one million World Panel units to the COMESA region in 2015.
CEO Jacob Sikazwe said: “I’ve worked for many years to empower people in rural Africa to improve their economic well-being and opportunities in life. This utility-grade personal solar charger finally delivers on my dream to aid and empower people living without regular access to electricity.”
