The cleaning of a solar panels plant
Photovoltaic solar panels are a way to generate electricity thanks to an endless energy source that is the sun. This energy source is available and at our disposal without any action required, in both remote and populated areas, while respecting the environment. New owners of a photovoltaic installations or potential future owners may wonder how to maintain their photovoltaic installation to maximise generation capacity.
The Swiss-based meeco Group counts more than twelve years experience in the solar renewable energy sector and has a track record of several hundred MW’s of developed and executed solar PV projects. Having established a strong and reliable network worldwide, meeco established the “oursun” global trademark to have a worldwide and internationally represented trademark under which strategic partnerships with strong local partners located across the globe are grouped.

The meeco Group, a worldwide clean energy provider, is currently expanding its turnkey services and solutions to the Zimbabwean solar market. Involved in the country since early 2013, several important partnerships have been created and various solar projects are currently under development.
The year of 2014 encountered further implementations of solar projects
The Swiss-based meeco Group, has this year enormously expanded its number of projects in solar generation and energy storage by benefiting from a growing network of local subsidiaries, strategic partners and experts based all around the world. The year of 2014 has been marked by successful projects, market expansions and new fruitful cooperation’s leading to a consequent development of the clean energy activities of The meeco Group.
Installation of two additional sun2flow systems in the Chaco region
Since 2010, The meeco Group, as a clean energy provider, has been present in Paraguay through its subsidiary based in Asunción, meeco América Latina S.A. The company has been a pioneer in the Paraguayan solar market, consolidated its presence and has become the leading services and solutions provider in the Paraguayan solar sector. The market penetration has been a success allowing the development and the construction of numerous solar projects. One of the flagship products is the innovative sun2flow turnkey solution, which is experiencing an exponentially rising interest in the Paraguayan market.
Overview of our actions to develop solar energy across the globe
Saving resources, foster energy efficiency and provide easy access to clean energy, are our main concerns. For that, we develop everyday innovative clean energy solutions to assist in tackling one of the biggest challenges of these days, the climate change mitigation. The year of 2014 was very conducive to the implementation of solar energy projects. In 2014, at The meeco Group, we developed solar energy and storage projects on a global scale, through high-end PV installations, cooperation with key partners, implementation of new joint ventures and product launches.
Swiss renewable energy group with steady growth, new market and solutions
2012 was the year major solar panel manufacturers like Q-Cells, Solyndra, Evergreen Solar or Solon went bankrupt. It will stay in people’s minds as a critical year for the entire solar energy sector, which depended heavily on government subsided green energy prices. The significant Feed-in Tariff cuts in Europe and uninterrupted solar PV modules price decrease deeply impacted the market behavior, the only positive note being the awakening of new emerging solar markets. Continuing economic challenges and changing policies have generated uncertainties, negative perspectives and reduced market growth in traditional renewable energy markets such as Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, the UK or even France.
Growing activities in the African market for The meeco Group last year
Present in South Africa since 2006, in Mauritius since the first quarter of 2012 and regularly present in Angola for the last 4 years, The meeco Group’s focus in the Indian Ocean and African markets has gained importance. In fact, the swiss-based clean energy specialist has been very active in the region, developing projects and partnerships in South Africa, Malawi, Kenya, Ghana, Morocco, Jordan, Nigeria, Yemen, Tanzania and Gambia. “We have always considered the African market as one of the most promising markets in the solar industry”, explains Dieter Trutschler, Sales Director for The meeco Group.
The meeco Group pursues growth in Latin America thanks to off-grid projects
Present in both North and South America, The meeco Group is strategically positioned to answer clean energy needs in both regions. However, the situation is very different from one market to other. “In the United States, power purchase agreement prices have significantly decreased during 2012 and the Federal cash-grant program has was allowed to expire. As a result, clients for many PV projects are large companies that can utilize the Federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation rules,” explains Stuart Moss, directing The meeco Group’s activities in North America and parts of South America. As a consequence, The meeco Group has decided to focus its activity in Latin America. Markets such as Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, Chile, Mexico, and Ecuador are growing in part thanks to the global cost reduction of PV technology during 2012.
New solar water pumping system by meeco América Latina in Chaco, Paraguay
meeco América Latina S.A., the Asunción-based subsidiary of The meeco Group, has received the down-payment earlier this month for a new sun2flow project in the Chaco region, northern Paraguay. Situated in a particularly remote area 350 km away from the first paved road, the installation site is completely off the grid.
