• A partnership well positioned to capitalise on the commercial and industrial solar opportunity in Zimbabwe...

  • Zimbabwe has inadequate electricity generation capacity, a constrained supply and unreliable distribution networks...

  • As the Zimbabwe economy grows we expect a significant increase in power demand, which presents a significant opportunity to bridge the capacity gap...

  • This supply growth will be fuelled by an increasingly supportive regulatory environment.

Our Solar & Battery Solutions

DESIGNED FOR A SOLID BUSINESS CASE

We design for each site by considering load factors, seasonality, growth potential, cost and reliability of existing power sources.

As a result, target projects are well-optimised between energy sources so that solar capacity is maximised, scalable, designed to allow for future energy storage capacity and benefits from net metering.

PERFORMANCE GUARANTEED

We offer comprehensive performance guarantees to underwrite the solar investment.

System availability and output are guaranteed, and components are provided under warranty.

Our back-up and monitoring services ensure maximum up-time.

FUNDING PACKAGE

The effective cost per kWh of solar power goes down with longer term funding. Given the lack of long-term debt in Zimbabwe, Cicada Solar has created an innovative funding vehicle.

Up to 8 year funding is available with competitive interest rates for credit-approved customers.

COMPETITIVE EPC PRICING

Our scale gives us significant purchasing power in solar equipment.

Cicada’s existing Zimbabwean footprint provides cost efficient administration and logistics.

Our Partnerships

The people at Cicada Solar have over 20 years of experience in developing renewable energy projects. We also partner with local and regional suppliers who provide access to cutting edge renewable energy technology. Our funding partners help us make our energy solutions attractive on an annual cost and pay-back basis.
