Daystar Power Group has completed solar installations at four Nestlé manufacturing facilities across West Africa, bringing total installed capacity to 6,884 kilowatt-peak, a figure that positions the partnership among the largest commercial and industrial clean energy arrangements on the continent.
The deployments, which cover sites in Abidjan, Tema, and Dakar, are all fully operational. In Côte d’Ivoire alone, two Abidjan facilities account for 3,447 kWp of combined capacity. A 2,547 kWp system serves Nestlé’s factory in Tema, Ghana, while an 890 kWp installation runs at the Dakar facility in Senegal. Each system was engineered to the specific grid conditions and operational demands of its location, rather than applied as an off-the-shelf solution.
The expansion marks a significant evolution from what began as a single-site commissioning. That Daystar Power has now delivered across three countries for the same client signals something the broader C&I solar market in sub-Saharan Africa has been waiting to see: a replicable model that a global manufacturer is willing to scale.
“Nearly 7 megawatts across four Nestlé facilities is a number we are proud of, but what it represents matters more than the figure itself,” said Yischai Beinisch, chief executive of Daystar Power Group. “It means that one of the world’s most demanding manufacturers has tested our model, trusted it, and come back. Our job now is to keep earning that, across every market where industry needs energy it can count on.”
