KENYA – Global technology giant Huawei has launched a new home energy storage solution in Kenya.
With a growing number of homeowners jumping on the solar bandwagon, the home energy storage system dubbed Luna 2000 is a device that stores electricity as chemical energy.
Speaking during the launch of the new solution, Huawei CEO Will Meng said the company is keen on investing in solar energy research and development.
“We pride ourselves for working towards reducing our carbon footprint and for accelerating carbon neutrality in the countries we operate in,” Zhengfei said.
“It is indeed in our best interest to increase the uptake of solar as a reliable, safe and efficient renewable source of energy in Kenya. We pledge to continue listening and acting upon our customers’ needs, increase our investment in solar energy research and development,” added Will Meng.
