Economics & Development

Sudan’s off-grid solar market is at a nascent stage with multiple players setting a focus on solar powered agricultural solutions. A rapid assessment of the current market environment in Sudan identified a few larger, international players alongside several smaller, local companies. Most companies import solar equipment - sinverters, and panels - from Tier-1 suppliers in China, while advanced technologies like control and automation systems are sourced from Europe. Goods are typically imported directly into Sudan and stored in local warehouses. Companies offer a diverse range of products across various market segments; however, the majority focus on off-grid solutions for the agricultural sector due to high demand. Project execution is typically handled either independently or through partnerships with agents and subcontractors.
