Reliable Solar PowerBuilt to Last

Since 2011 we have built solar and battery systems for factories, hospitals, schools and hotels across Uganda, with projects in Kenya and Tanzania. We design each system around how your site uses power, install it and service it, so your power stays on.

Solar Projects

We design, buy, install and commission complete solar systems for manufacturers, hospitals, schools, farms and hotels, from 20 kWp into the megawatt range (kWp is the peak output of the panels). The largest we have built is 500 kWp with 200 kWh of battery (kWh is the energy a battery stores) at Kyamuhunga Tea. Depending on your site, you get a Backup system with batteries and your generator that keeps the power on, a Solar Savings system alongside the grid that lowers your bill, or a fully Off-Grid plant.

E-Mobility

We install chargers for electric vehicles (EVs) and power them with solar and batteries, mostly for institutions and development partners. Every project starts with a feasibility study, and the charger is then connected to your solar system and the controls that manage your energy. We build the charging side only and do not sell or run vehicles.

Financing Options

We work with finance partners, so you can pay for solar in the way that suits your business. You can buy the system outright, take a green loan, or have a partner own the system while you pay for the power it produces. For development finance clients, we prepare the technical documents that lenders ask for.
