OUR SOLUTIONS
X-Solar Systems is one of the leading providers of captive solar energy solutions across Sub-Saharan Africa for commercial and industrial off-takers as well as off-grid households. We work closely with our partners in providing high quality and high performing energy solutions enabling off-takers to reduce their energy costs and carbon footprint.
From our offices in Nairobi and Harare, we deliver end-to-end solutions customised to each off-taker’s need; the entire process from design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the solar power plant is done in-house.
All our projects are monitored online 24/7 and regular operation and maintenance is done on-site by our remote installer teams. We believe in clean, reliable and affordable energy for all. We offer our captive solar energy solutions on an asset-based finance model.
