Elevated 5.5m from the ground to maximize the available space and the irradiation on the installation.
The solar thermal installation of 330 m2 aperture area is provided by Ariya Finergy, which is a Nairobi-based engineering, construction, and financing firm that develops and builds renewable energy and power stabilization projects for critical commercial and industrial facilities.
Ariya Finergy used Absolicon solar collectors delivered directly from Sweden to Nairobi.
The solar field provides energy for fluid preheating and delivers 95 °C temperature. Installation of the collectors was made in December 2021. To integrate the solar field to the Iberafrica plant in Nairobi, Absolicon has provided a custom solar central shipped directly from Sweden.
