We are also benefiting here in Africa. I have begun to see Indian solar panels being sold here and they tend to be the cheapest at my preferred online retailer.

The solar panels are called Renewsys[0].

Have you seen Atersa panels over there? It's a Spanish brand, someone told me that they were selling a lot of them in África, but didn't mention exactly where.
No I have not seen any Atersa panels in my neck of the woods. I do know there is Spanish involvement in a few solar farms being implemented in SA. I build the initial web site for this particular one[0].

There many solar panel retailers my goto one is this one[1]

Hmm, you're right, the indian ones seem to be the cheapest, even more than Jinko. IDK about Enersol, it looks like a spanish-made name but I can't find any info about it.

I asked you this because the spanish solar industry suffered a lot because of the Chinese competition. AFAIK Atersa was the only brand that remained producing in Spain, everyone else moved production to china.
