“We are very pleased to announce our first sales to Africa in years, where demand for solar systems has climbed rapidly in the past twelve months,“ said Sass Peress, Chairman and CEO of ICP Solar. “We will be providing our proprietary modules for remote power generation in areas where, given the lack of reliable electricity but continuous availability of sunshine, we will make it possible for thousands of individuals to use portable power products and operate critically-needed equipment.
