Rooftop solar at Ambrosoli International School in Kampala, Uganda

Schools & Campuses

Power for every lesson, day and night.

Schools, colleges and universities need dependable power for computers, labs, water pumping, security and evening study, often on budgets that should be going to education, not diesel. We design solar and battery systems that cut running costs and give campuses energy independence, delivered and maintained by one accountable EPC contractor operating since 2011.

Why solar for education

Reliable power that protects the budget.

Every shilling spent on grid tariffs and diesel is a shilling not spent on teaching. Outages disrupt computer labs, exams and distance learning, and many campuses sit on weak rural grids or none at all. Solar cuts the running cost and gives a campus energy independence, with battery backup for boarding operations and evening study. For rural schools with no grid, a full off-grid system brings power for the first time.

Universities & Colleges

Large campus systems tuned to the academic day, cutting a heavy electricity bill.

Rooftop solar on the International University of East Africa campus in Kampala

Universities and colleges carry dense classroom, admin and lab loads across the academic day. We build large rooftop systems tuned for direct consumption on academic-day load curves, cutting the campus bill and making the green commitment visible. Our largest campus system runs the International University of East Africa.

  • Tuned to academic-day load
  • Direct-consumption savings
  • Visible green commitment

Secondary & Boarding Schools

Hospital-grade backup engineering applied to teaching and boarding loads.

Solar installation at Gogolo Junior School in Kisubi, Uganda

Boarding schools run day and night, and a weak semi-rural grid disrupts both teaching and residential life. We build rooftop systems with substantial battery backup, built to the same standard as our hospital designs, so classes and dormitories keep running through outages.

  • Uninterrupted teaching hours
  • Reliable evening boarding operations
  • Built to a hospital-grade standard

Skills & training

Vocational & Skills Centres

Power for workshops, classrooms and dormitories on a weak grid.

Solar installation at the Soroti Youth Skills Centre in Uganda

Vocational and skills centres run power-hungry workshops alongside classrooms and residential blocks. We cover the whole site with solar and storage, often with a student training component on handover, so the campus itself becomes a teaching tool.

  • Workshops, classrooms and dorms covered
  • Student training on handover
  • Steady power on weak grids

Off-grid solar at Amasiko Green School in Hamukaaka, Uganda

Many rural primary schools have no grid at all, running on candles and diesel. We build full off-grid solar and battery systems that bring reliable power to classrooms, lighting and ICT, with technician training so the school can look after it.

  • Full off-grid independence
  • Classrooms, lighting and ICT
  • Local technician training
