Gigawatt Global Coöperatief U.A. is a multinational renewable energy company focused on the development and management of utility-scale solar fields in emerging markets. Gigawatt Global has a rich pipeline of renewable energy projects, providing solar, wind and hydro electricity, mostly in Africa.
A gigawatt is a unit of power equal to one billion watts and is generally used to measure large-scale energy production such as the output of a photovoltaic or wind energy system. To put this into perspective, to generate a gigawatt of energy, 3.125 million solar panels would be required.
With the right combination of solar panels, batteries, and conversion systems, a 1 GW solar farm can provide clean, renewable energy for many years to come. Save time by obtaining up to 4 quotes from our extensive network of certified and screened solar panel installers, rather than contacting installers individually.
The amount of space needed for a 1-gigawatt solar farm will vary depending on the region and the orientation of the solar array.
