HANDS-ON SOLAR DELIVERY
Experience across the complete construction process.
Our experience covers civil works, foundations, solar structures and trackers, mechanical installation, electrical works, cable infrastructure, pull-out testing, commissioning, troubleshooting and project management.
That broad understanding helps us look beyond individual components and consider how a complete system must be designed, installed, protected and supported.
UGANDA SINCE 2015
We understand local power realities.
International project experience is combined with a permanent local presence. We understand unstable grid supply, frequent power cuts, generator dependence, electricity costs, equipment availability, local installation conditions and the importance of reliable technical support after commissioning.
Our solar shop and technical base in Mbiko/Jinja allows us to display equipment, design systems and provide supply, installation and after-sales support directly to customers.
We serve homeowners, schools, farms, hotels and lodges, shops, offices, apartment buildings and commercial facilities throughout Uganda.

A good solar system starts by understanding the customer.
We do not believe in simply selling an inverter, battery and a few solar panels. We analyse electricity consumption, appliances, peak loads, required backup time, available roof or ground space and budget before recommending a solution.
