Huawei to install photovoltaic systems in isolated communities in Peru

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The agreement, signed during the LATAM ICT2022 Congress, held in Cancun, Mexico, aims to bring electrification to isolated communities in Peru, where the grid cannot be installed due to lack of infrastructure or inaccessibility.

Novum Solar’s general manager, Tomas Luy, explained to EFE that there are more than 700 localities in Peru in this situation.

“We are going to seek, through this cooperation and with all our efforts, to provide a better electricity supply to these people,” he explained the meaning of the agreement.

“We have a long way to go. We still do not have a distributed generation regulation as other countries in Latin America have,” added Luy regarding the regulations in Peru.

The LATAM ICT2022 Congress was organized by the Chinese company Huawei, which stands out as one of the world’s leading providers of information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure; it also has an important photovoltaic solutions division.

Huawei and Novum Solar have had an alliance in Peru since 2020, in which the latter acts as the official distributor of Huawei Solar in the South American country.

The two companies have already come together, for example, in the installation and commissioning, in November last year, of the first solar-hydroelectric hybrid project in Peru, based on a 1.62 MW solar plant.

Acciona.org is also working to bring electricity to isolated rural areas of the country (as part of an action that also includes Mexico and Panama), a program known as Luz en Casa Amazonía.
