Energising communities for lasting impact.
We install and operate distributed solar and storage that keeps health facilities, schools and humanitarian operations running, built for the very high reliability critical services need. Since 2020 we have electrified public institutions under donor and government programmes from Malawi and Niger to Gaza and Haiti, backed by an in-country field service organisation and 24/7 remote monitoring.
Design, install, operate
Design
Each system is designed from field-proven, high-quality components to international and local standards. We size it to the energy need, the budget and the setting of the service it powers, whether that is a clinic, a school or a distribution centre.
Install
Trusted local partners do the installation under our supervision and quality sign-off. We build for durability, so that a system still performs years after commissioning.
Operate
Every system includes remote management. We watch performance, update firmware and settings, and catch problems before they become outages, so the service the system enables keeps running.
The services we keep running
Healthcare
Health facilities, maternity wards and district hospital vaccine stores, where lighting at night and a working cold chain decide outcomes.
Education
Schools and girls' dormitories, with light to study by and power for the equipment teaching depends on.
Humanitarian
Emergency food distribution centres and field operations across several countries at once, delivered to one standard.
Water
Water pumping, treatment, heating, storage and distribution, with usage monitoring and control.
Selected projects
A selection from earlier programmes. We hold long-term agreements with UNICEF and the World Food Programme.
Alongside the system
Services we package with a system or deliver on their own. The list grows as programmes ask for more.

What reliable power changes at a clinic
We contribute directly to SDG 7 (clean energy) and SDG 13 (climate), and through the services our systems enable to health (SDG 3), education (SDG 4) and economic activity (SDG 8). Impact studies at sites in Malawi and the Philippines found better health services with good lighting and working medical equipment, safer patients, and staff who are more satisfied and more likely to stay.
“Since the installation of power at the facility, the number of pregnant women coming for deliveries has increased from an average of 8 clients per month to 20.”
