How it Works
Solar Water Heaters
A solar water heater is one of the most effective ways of drastically reducing your electricity bills (up to 70% reduction) as well as your carbon footprint.

- Solar Kits- A solar home system is a small stand-alone photovoltaic system that consists of;
- one or more PV modules
- a charge controller
- a battery
- cabling, and a load of DC appliances (lights, radio, television…).
Solar Panels and Related Materials
We also supply high-quality solar panels and every related material you could need.
Solar Panels and Related Materials
- Solar Hybrid Panels- The hybrid panel combines the abilities of a solar panel and an air heater. It can heat water for the household and produce electrical power at the same time.
- LED Lights- The light-emitting diode (LED) is today’s most energy-efficient and rapidly-developing lighting technology. LED lights are more durable and offer comparable or better light quality than other types of lighting.
- Back-Ups- An electrical backup system is composed of inverters and batteries which can provide power during electricity short-cuts.
