special feature of the EcoPhi systems is also their modularity and flexible
applicability. Thus, the systems can already be used economically in small solar
home systems - but also in large and complex installations such as minigrids or
C&I projects.

Kenya as an interesting market and hub for the entire East Africa region

This flexibility is also evident in one of the company's current projects in
Kenya. Together with the Kenyan company Lean Energy Solutions, EcoPhi is
monitoring sustainable biomass heating systems used in various industrial
processes in Nairobi. Three new systems were commissioned here in March 2022.
"Kenya is strategically a very interesting market for EcoPhi. Both the on-grid
market and the off-grid market are developing very quickly and dynamically,"
says Zenz. In the short term, the country serves primarily as a sales market for
EcoPhi products. In the long term, Kenya can establish itself as a hub for
activities on the continent and especially in East Africa.In April 2022, EcoPhi
was awarded the 'Solar Company of the Year: Monitoring Solutions' award at the
2022 KENYA SOLAR WEEK LEADERSHIP AWARDS.By participating in the program, EcoPhi
aims to establish itself even further on the Kenyan market and expand its local
activities. In doing so, the company is relying heavily on cooperation with
Kenyan partners and companies in the fields of solar energy, water supply and
agriculture. As part of the market development, the company will conduct sales
and product training to strengthen local partners. In May, EcoPhi will showcase
its products and services at the Solar Africa Expo. The RES project Kenya is
funded under the Renewable Energy Solutions Program of the Export Initiative
Energy of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection.
