Why Kenya?

Solar telecom tower project in Kenya

In many remote regions of Kenya, telecom towers have long relied on diesel generators for power. Unstable fuel supply, high logistics costs, and frequent grid outages make traditional power solutions expensive and unreliable.

With abundant solar resources and a national goal of 100% clean energy by 2030, off-grid solar PV systems are now the smartest choice for telecom infrastructure.

Project Spotlight: 100 Towers Going Solar

We are proud to announce that SOLARFARM has kicked off the installation of 100 solar PV power systems for telecom towers across Kenya.

Site surveys & custom design completed
Solar arrays, battery storage, and hybrid controllers being deployed
Expected to cut diesel use by over 90% per site

Similar solar-hybrid telecom projects in Kenya have already reduced OPEX by up to 90% and significantly improved network uptime.

Impact Beyond Connectivity

This is not just about signal strength. It’s about:

🌍
Reducing carbon emissions & diesel dependency
📡
Ensuring reliable communication for rural communities, schools, and clinics
⚙️
Creating local jobs and technical training opportunities

“When the tower has power, the village stays connected.”
