SANY Breaks Ground on First Solar Power Project in Zimbabwe
27 June 2025
On June 26, SANY Silicon Energy officially commenced construction of a 10MW solar power plant in Zimbabwe. The project, undertaken by Runtu Mining Company, marks SANY’s first solar project in Zimbabwe—and the first in Africa to adopt the innovative "EP+F" model, which integrates engineering, procurement, and financing into a customized solution tailored to customers’ financial needs.
The project will deploy SANY’s independently developed 710 high-efficiency photovoltaic modules, paired with advanced inverters and high-strength mounting systems. With a total installed capacity of 10MW and a fast-tracked construction plan, the plant is scheduled for grid connection by the end of 2025. Once operational, it is expected to generate 18 million kilowatt-hours annually, greatly easing Zimbabwe’s power shortage, supporting local industries, and contributing to low-carbon energy transformation across the region.
As the debut of SANY Silicon Energy’s “EP+F” business model, the project offers a replicable framework for future international renewable energy collaborations. By significantly reducing the financial burdens for customers, the model enhances the accessibility and feasibility of clean energy adoption in emerging markets. Runtu Mining's Chairman expressed confidence in future cooperation with SANY in broader areas, including microgrids, heavy truck electrification, and EV charging infrastructure.
This milestone project reflects SANY’s strong commitment to the global dual-carbon agenda and its expanding role in international clean energy development. Upholding high standards in quality and efficiency, SANY will ensure the project is delivered on schedule and contributes lasting value to Zimbabwe’s energy landscape.
Looking forward, SANY will continue to drive innovation, collaborate with global partners, and accelerate the transition to a sustainable, green energy future.
