Zimbabwe is emerging as a rapidly expanding “opportunity market” on Africa’s energy map. Power shortages, low rural electrification rates, and urgent demand for clean energy are driving the country toward a photovoltaic-plus-storage (PV+BESS) boom around 2026. At the same time, government policies that support solar and green energy—from tax breaks and foreign investment liberalization to the opening of the IPP framework—send a clear signal: renewable energy companies are entering an ideal market-entry window. Against this backdrop, ONESUN, a globally recognized battery manufacturer, is actively seeking local partners in Zimbabwe to jointly build solar cell and energy storage system factories and inaugurate a localized manufacturing model.
The Zimbabwean government has prioritized solar development in recent years. Due to unstable grids and insufficient power supply, PV+storage has shifted from an optional solution to an essential one. Stable power supply is particularly critical for telecom towers, rural electrification, and commercial and industrial users, creating substantial market demand for storage batteries and integrated solar systems. The government’s import duty exemptions on solar equipment, tax incentives for renewable projects, and investment protection policies have also lowered barriers for foreign entrants.
Driven by both policy incentives and market demand, ONESUN proposes a “local factory + technology transfer + OEM cooperation” strategy to establish deep partnerships with Zimbabwean firms and build a complete value chain covering cell production, system integration, and end-user applications. This approach reduces transportation and tariff costs, improves local delivery capability, and strengthens market competitiveness.
Founded in 2014, ONESUN is a global energy company focused on R&D and manufacturing of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries and PV energy storage systems. The company’s products are exported to more than 70 countries, with over 3 GW of project deliveries completed. ONESUN possesses a full vertical capability from cells and BMS to battery packs, inverters, and system integration—delivering truly integrated “cell-to-system” solutions.
ONESUN’s solutions for the Zimbabwe market cover multiple scenarios:
- Telecom: ONESUN’s 48V telecom lithium batteries provide high safety, long cycle life, and stable output, effectively replacing traditional lead-acid batteries and ensuring continuous operation of base stations.
- Household and rural: ONESUN’s integrated solar+storage systems and PAYGO series support installment payment models that lower adoption barriers and accelerate off-grid electrification.
- Commercial & Industrial: Modular BESS solutions help businesses shift peak loads, reduce energy costs, and improve operational resilience.
ONESUN emphasizes not only standardized products but also customization. The company can adapt voltage, capacity, form factor, and environmental resilience to meet local requirements, offering end-to-end OEM/ODM services from design to mass production. This flexibility enables rapid adaptation to Africa’s diverse and complex market needs.
Why choose ONESUN?
Three core advantages stand out: (1) Technology and quality — ONESUN uses industry-leading A-grade LiFePO4 cells for superior safety and longevity; (2) System integration — owning both battery and inverter factories eliminates compatibility issues and improves system efficiency; (3) Global delivery capabilities — extensive overseas project experience and a robust delivery system ensure reliable partner support.
Importantly, ONESUN has transformed from a conventional battery maker into an “energy solutions provider”: it does not merely sell products but helps customers solve energy challenges and maximize commercial value.
Looking ahead, Zimbabwe’s PV+storage market remains in a rapid growth phase, and local manufacturing will be a decisive competitive factor. By co-investing in local factories and integrating technology, products, and local resources, ONESUN can increase market penetration and accelerate the development of Zimbabwe’s renewable energy industry, creating mutual benefits.
With policy support and rising demand, ONESUN’s joint-factory plan with Zimbabwean partners is poised to become a notable model for Africa’s renewable-energy industry and inject new growth momentum into the global PV+storage market.
