Farms & Agribusiness
Keep your cold store and packhouse running.
Cold stores, packhouses and processing lines need steady power, often on weak-grid or off-grid sites where one outage can spoil a harvest. We build solar and battery systems for those loads across Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.

Solar produces most when your farm needs it most.
Farms use the most energy during the day, for cold storage, packhouse work and refrigeration, which is exactly when solar can help most. Many farms sit far from the grid, so off-grid and weak-grid conditions are normal, and a single outage can ruin a harvest of perishable produce. We build solar and battery systems sized to your operation, and we have delivered them across Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, including one of East Africa’s first floating PV (solar panels on water) systems.

Flower Farms
Export flower farms run heavy production and cold-chain loads that solar and storage can carry.
Flower farms exporting to Europe run heavy production and cold-chain loads across large sites. We build hybrid solar and battery systems for irrigation pumping, cold storage and packhouse work, so production and refrigeration run on clean, reliable power at farm scale. At Jambo Roses in Nakawuka, 250 kWp of solar with 200 kWh of battery runs production and refrigeration.

Livestock & Dairy Farms
Milk cooling, pumping and farm work need steady power through the working day.
Dairy and livestock farms run steady refrigeration and pumping loads, which suits solar used directly on site for daytime savings. We size grid-tied and hybrid systems to the farm’s real load, from mid-scale dairies to working farms and cooperatives, and we have carried out feasibility studies for dairy cooperatives with Heifer International. Misty Mountain Dairy Farm in Kapeeka runs its refrigeration and pumping on 50 kWp of solar through the day.
- Refrigeration and pumping covered
- Direct daytime savings
- From single farms to cooperatives
Agrivoltaics & Research
Our research and demonstration systems combine solar with farming, including floating PV.
Agrivoltaics means farming and producing solar power on the same land. We design and build research and demonstration systems around it, from living labs in three countries to floating PV. With Hochschule Karlsruhe we delivered research labs in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, and we are writing the national agrivoltaics guidelines for Uganda.

Some of the projects we have delivered
Why we specify LFP over NMC on weak grids
A battery on a weak Ugandan grid works harder than the same battery in a stable market. Chemistry choice follows from that, and so does service life.

Uganda has no net metering for commercial and industrial users. That single fact shapes how every grid-tied system on this site gets sized.
