Where we come from
We are engineers first, and it shows.
Franz Sistemich started Equator Solar in 2011, back when almost nobody in Uganda was doing solar engineering properly for business. Fifteen years later we have more than 300 systems running in the field and a team of 22 people who look after them.
Because we are engineers, we start by measuring how much power your site actually uses and then build the whole system around that number. Whether it is solar on its own, solar with batteries, a hybrid with your generator or fully off-grid, it comes with the monitoring and controls that keep it performing for the next 25 years.
We work at commercial and industrial scale, from about 20 kW up to 2 MW, so we are not the people to call for a panel on the roof at home. Our senior engineers have been doing this long enough to care about the details nobody sees, like cable sizing, earthing and the fault logs.
We pair German engineering discipline with a team that knows how things actually work here, and that mix is why factories, hospitals, schools and international organisations hand us their power and then stop thinking about it.
