About Us
Continuous Power Africa is a privately held distributed power and remote monitoring company which serves the mobile telecommunications industry.
As Inala, a brand widely installed brand across Africa and Asia, we supply advanced remote monitoring hardware for telecommunications sites. We provide state-of-the-art site monitoring to increase uptime, reduce cost and save fuel.
We are proud to lead mobile telecommunications energy into cleaner, low-carbon, higher technology integration. We design, engineer and supply solarization, diesel reduction, and energy efficiency solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa. We are also distributors of lithium-ion batteries, solar power systems and micro-inverters manufactured by leading global manufacturers based in South Korea, USA, India, South Africa and Europe.
Lithium-ion battery storage and solar photovoltaics coupled with our advanced intelligent monitoring and control systems generate significant cost and reliability benefits. Diesel deferment at weak-grid and off-grid telecommunication sites delivers considerable operational savings to infrastructure operators, as well as greater energy efficiency leading to carbon savings.
