Solar Systems

At Fonswa Engineering, we have the following solar services:

Solar Microgrid Installations: We design and deploy modular solar microgrids for off-grid and on-grid communities in Africa. These systems integrate solar panels, battery storage, and proprietary IoT-enabled energy management devices to optimize power distribution and monitor performance in real time.

Solar-Powered Infrastructure Solutions: We install solar power systems for public infrastructure, such as schools, hospitals, and water pumping stations, using custom-designed solar arrays and energy-efficient storage solutions.

Commercial and Industrial Solar Systems: We provide turnkey solar solutions for businesses and factories, including rooftop solar installations and hybrid systems that integrate with existing electrical grids.

Solar Street Lighting and Smart City Solutions: We plan, design, and implement solar-powered street lighting and smart city infrastructure, such as IoT-connected lighting systems that adjust brightness based on real-time needs.

For residential home use, we have the following:

      i)          Off-Grid Solar System: This is a standalone system for homes in remote or rural African areas without reliable grid access. It includes solar panels, a battery bank, a charge controller, and an inverter to power household appliances independently.

    ii)          Grid-Tied Solar System: This is a system connected to the local utility grid, allowing homes to use solar power during the day and draw from the grid when needed, with excess power potentially fed back for credits (where net metering is available).

   iii)          Hybrid Solar System: This combines solar power with battery storage and grid connectivity, providing flexibility for homes in areas with unreliable grid supply. It stores excess solar energy for use during outages or at night.

These solar systems work in alignment with Fonswa Engineering’s objectives to lead in sustainable solutions, reduce costs through local sourcing, and leverage innovative technologies like AI and IoT for the African market.
