The inhabitants of Koupéla, Tenkodogo, Bittou and Cinkansé depend more on the offer of SONABEL
Arrested on the edge of the bitumen that crosses the city of Bittou with his friend Zèba Zakaria, Lompo Issouf appreciates: " We were happy too much. That's light until the exit of Bittou. It's good for us. Bittou has changed. Now, there is current. There is everything. There is light. Even if your 100 francs has fallen, you will take "!
Seventeen kilometers of the main arteries of Koupéla, Tenkodogo, Bittou and Cinkansé no longer depend on the offer of SONABEL and this over a period of seven-year warranty provided by FONROCHE lighting, supplier of street lighting equipment. The maintenance will be ensured by its representative African Telecom and Electricity Company (SATEL SA). A partnership agreement has been initialed by the National Agency for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ANEREE) and the two companies to ensure that both parties will keep their commitment on time.
Focused on " the guarantee of service ", with the sole objective of achieving " a viable investment ", Jean-Marc Palm, Director General of the National Agency renewable energy and energy efficiency (ANEREE), does not appreciate that simple lighting. The other implications are just as important to him.
" You have street lights that use solar energy to power the lamps. These are not lamps that are connected to SONABEL. The lamp is already autonomous. The pole is autonomous. This means that there is an energy differential that can be redistributed to other areas. This is very interesting "he says.
Fonroche lighting through SATEL offers a seven-year guarantee of service while investing in the transfer of local skills. Yassine Kerroumi, director of international markets, made the trip to Ouagadougou for the occasion of the signing of the tripartite agreement. Before supplying this streetlight model, the company surveyed GPS coordinates, taken meteorological data and days and nights over the past ten years, and finally scaled them according to the worst weather conditions.
" Everyone knows how to do solar when there is sun. But doing solar, when it's cloudy, when there's dust, rain, that's where there's a problem. This is our differentiation "says the director of international markets. The company offers crystalline silicone solar panels with self-cleaning tempered glass and NIMH nickel alloy batteries with a power of 624 Wh with a lifespan of 3650 cycles, or about 10 years.
" Nickel alloy batteries, the same technology that is used by the international space station where we can not afford to replace batteries regularly ", Yassine Kerroumi hastens to add
To this technology is added the possibility of remote control. Thanks to a system of monitoring from a log in and a password, the client can visualize his park of lamps and know everything that happens on the circuit. If there is a failure, before the failure occurs, the interconnected lamp post sends a message (WhatsApp or SMS or e-mail) to signal the malfunction.
" We have the actual capabilities to deal with our engagements. We are behind. We are deeply committed to maintaining the guarantee of our equipment, our facilities ", will intonate Adama Ouédraogo, PCA SATEL Sa.
Already present on the continent, the French supplier intends to stay there and there better implant. She does not hide it. " At this very moment in Senegal, we are carrying out a project to enlighten a third of the country. 30% of Senegalese territory on which, we committed to the performance again. Our ambition is to do the same in Burkina Faso ", declined the director of international markets Fonroche lighting which leads 80% of its activity in Africa.
