According to recent analysis from the International Energy Agency (IEA), approximately 730 million people worldwide remained without access to electricity in 2024. This figure highlights a persistent challenge in global electrification, particularly in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa where population growth continues to outpace new electrical connections.
The IEA data indicates that while developing Asia has reached 98% electrification, progress has stagnated in key countries. In Latin America, reaching the final remote populations could take up to 15 years at current rates. Most significantly, Sub-Saharan Africa remains home to 80% of the global population lacking electricity access, despite recording 6.8 million new grid connections in 2024.
"This data reveals not just a challenge but a significant opportunity for the solar industry," stated a spokesperson for Longsun Green. "As grid expansion drives electrification in Africa, and remote areas worldwide remain difficult to reach, reliable and cost-effective solar energy solutions become increasingly vital."
The report notes that affordability remains a central challenge for households, even as electrification rates improve. This economic reality underscores the need for durable solar infrastructure that delivers long-term value.
Since 2007, Longsun Green has focused on manufacturing high-quality solar mounting systems that meet the demands of large-scale and remote projects. The company's mature production capabilities enable it to provide robust solutions at competitive prices, supporting developers in overcoming cost barriers while ensuring project reliability.
"For companies looking to establish a presence in these emerging markets, the quality and cost-effectiveness of foundational components like mounting systems are crucial," the spokesperson added. "We are committed to supporting our partners with solutions that help make these vital solar projects viable and successful."
