Involved in Africa
Give electrical installation equipment a second life in Africa
In the Netherlands, a lot of material, for example discarded but still working solar panels and
leftover installation materials, discarded. In Africa, however, they are eager for this. Through close contacts with Anco van Bergeijk and Ewien van Bergeijk (CAMA) in Senegal, much of ProfiNRG's project leftover installation equipment finds its way to Africa. This allows safe, professional solar installations to be realised, making a real difference. In particular, they help clinics, homes and schools to have a stable, own, energy supply.

ProfiNRG dreams of 24/7 water on Bear Sheba
ProfiNRG's 10th anniversary in 2022 coincided with the 10th anniversary of the Beer Sheba project in Senegal. Reason for us to put this project in the extra spotlight. Partly for this reason, our marketing & communication colleagues went to Senegal to visit the projects where, among other things, our used/remaining solar panels and inverters go.
In addition, instead of the usual gifts, we asked for financial contributions for a battery storage system. With this battery system, they can use the power generated during the day, for the sprinkler system at night. This gives the soil enough time to absorb the water, before it evaporates. So they save a lot of precious groundwater.

ProfiNRG spreads wings to Africa
ProfiNRG has a series of solar panel projects in Africa realised. Director Bert van Woudenberg is in Burkina Faso been there to help realise a number of pv-projects.
Van Woudenberg: 'I am delighted that we were able to contribute to a number of solar panel projects in Burkina Faso. It was a great experience to work with a number of local people, led by Anco van Bergeijk. Here, we supplied a number of radio stations and a school with solar panels and battery systems, enabling these installations to run completely standalone. With equipment from ProfiNRG and manpower from Van Beusekom Harmelen, great things have happened here with grateful people as the end result.'
