The Opportunity

Problem

Namibian entrepreneurs face a shortage of trained local engineers for renewable energy installations, forcing them to rely on costly expatriate hires.

Solution

RenewPlanAI uses AI to generate customized installation blueprints for solar/wind projects based on Namibian sites and regs. It includes step-by-step guides and AR previews for semi-skilled locals to execute. This minimizes expert needs by empowering entrepreneurs with DIY tools and local training.
