Energy Savings for Moroccan Businesses


Description

eLum’s first target customer is the telecom industry in Morocco and across Africa. The company aims to help the industry optimize production, storage, and consumption of renewable energy.
In recent years, however, the price for solar panels have dropped tremendously and several innovations have made solar energy systems more efficient and affordable.
Karim is confident that their company can play a key role in enabling Morocco’s solar industry to flourish and commoditize local, decentralized, and carbon-free energy.Karim envisions a future where the entire continent of Africa will access cleaner, more sustainable energy at dramatically cheaper costs. For eLum to be a part of this future, timing is everything and their sense of urgency is palpable. He find that this project is a boom in renewable energies.
