CrowdReviews Partners with Leader Text to Announce Africa Solar + Energy

Storage Congress & Expo 2017

Naples, FL, April 20, 2017 --(PR.com)-- With thousands of off grid projects springing up across Africa,
solar project owners and developers require huge amounts of financing.

Solar + Energy Storage Congress & Expo 2017 brings together government, leading utilities, power
producers, project developers, investors, and solution providers to allow new business opportunities and
valuable connections to be made.

Africa is among the strongest solar resources in the world. It brings tremendous opportunities to the solar
and energy storage industry in African developing countries. Solar is also being promoted to replace
fuel-based lighting and off-grid electrical needs. The great market potential has encouraged Leader Group

27-28, 2017. Participants include governments, utilities, project developers, investors, energy storage
product manufacturers, consulting firms, in addition to other related sectors invited to discuss
