Agriculture
Productive solar for farms and agri-processing.
Agricultural operations need energy for irrigation pumping, cold storage, processing equipment and refrigeration. Off-grid and weak-grid locations make reliable power especially challenging. We have delivered solar-plus-storage systems for farms, cooperatives, and research stations across Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.

The challenge
What organisations in this sector face
Irrigation pumping and cold storage are energy-intensive at exactly the moments solar can help most
Many farms are located far from the grid — off-grid or weak-grid conditions are the norm
Perishable produce requires uninterrupted refrigeration — a single outage can destroy an entire harvest
Agri-processing facilities (mills, dryers, packhouses) have variable loads that require careful system design

Our approach
How we size and deliver a system for your sector
Energy audit
We start by measuring your actual loads. 7–30 days of data logging gives us the load profile we need to size a system correctly for your operations.
System design
We design a hybrid system — solar, battery, grid or genset — that matches your load profile, budget, and operational requirements. No guesswork.
Installation & O&M
Our team installs and commissions the system. Ongoing O&M contracts ensure performance is maintained for the full system lifetime.
