Solar Projects
Solar power systems, built for your operation
We design, build and commission complete solar power systems for manufacturers, hospitals, schools, farms and hotels. From 20 kWp to 2 MWp. Grid-tied for savings, solar plus battery for backup, or full off-grid. Every system is engineered around your actual load.

Solar power sized for your business.
Every outage costs money. Products spoil. Batches get thrown away. Staff stand around. Machines restart badly. Diesel is expensive and getting worse. A well designed solar and battery system stops most of that. It runs your business through outages, cuts your diesel bill, and pays for itself in a few years. We measure your actual power use before we design anything. No guesses.

Three system types. One that fits your site.
Solar Savings System
Solar panels that run your daytime load straight off the roof, cutting the grid bill from day one.
The entry-stage system: solar PV tied to your grid connection, with optional generator integration. It covers as much of your daytime consumption as the roof allows, so you buy less power at peak tariff. There is no battery, which keeps the cost and the payback the lowest of any system. The best fit for operations that run through daylight hours.
- Grid and diesel saving
- Lower operating cost (OPEX)
- Fastest payback of any system

Solar Backup System
Solar plus battery storage sized to your critical load, so production runs straight through an outage.
The savings system plus battery storage. You get daytime autonomy on solar and hours of backup when the grid drops, engineered from 2 to 4 hours up to 12 hours and beyond against your critical load. No restart damage, no spoiled batches, no idle staff. The standard choice for manufacturers, hospitals and processors on a weak grid.
- Interruption-free power backup
- Grid and diesel savings
- Lower operating cost (OPEX)

Solar Off-Grid System
An extended solar and battery system sized to carry the whole site, day and night, with no reliance on the grid.
The backup system scaled up: more panels, more storage, sized to run the site around the clock. Built for locations with no reliable grid, or where security of supply cannot be compromised. The generator stays only as a deep backup for the lowest-sun days.
- Full energy autonomy
- Unlimited power backup
- Independent from grid and diesel

Already running a diesel generator?
Most sites we work on already have a generator. We don't rip it out. We put solar in front of it and add a fuel-save controller, so the two run as one system and your diesel bill drops.
Solar carries the load
The panels supply as much of your demand as the sun allows, in real time.
The controller manages the split
A fuel-save controller balances solar, battery and generator second by second.
The generator idles
It only runs to fill the gap, and switches off when solar and battery can cover the load.

Financing your system
Equator Solar is an EPC. We design, supply and build your system as a turnkey project, then hand you a tier-one, bankable asset. How you pay for it is your decision, and we help you get there.
Direct purchase
Own the system outright and take the full savings from day one. The fastest route to implementation.
Lease or PPA
A finance partner funds the system and you pay from the savings, with little or no upfront cost. Benefits without the investment.
Bank or green loan
Fund it through a commercial bank, including development-bank green credit lines, with the debt repaid out of what you save.
Whichever route you choose, we prepare the bank-ready feasibility study and the full documentation a lender needs. Every solution is tier-one and bankable.
Real installations. Real outcomes.
