Company Background
Sollatek Electronics Kenya Ltd is an East African leader in supplying clean reliable on and off grid energy solutions. We have been in operation since 1985 as the sole authorised agent for Sollatek products and the owner of the Sollatek franchise in East Africa. Our Head Office is in Mombasa, Kenya and sales office in Nairobi, Kenya. We operate as a wholesale and last mile distribution outfit, selling our products through a region-wide network of distributors, hardware, electronic shops, supermarkets, NGO and Co-operatives. We provide installation services, comprehensive after sales care and hassle free warranty services on all our products.
Our on-grid division supplies and installs voltage protection range includes voltage switchers, stabilisers, and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). These devices assist businesses from small to large avoid losses, monetary and efficiency, due to unreliable power by keep their businesses, homes, and lives working uninterrupted.
The Sollatek Solar Division supplies complete turnkey solar systems and ancillary equipment including solar energy systems, solar modules, charge controllers, batteries, solar home systems and portable lanterns. We offer a wide range of affordable and quality product to cater to all the different financial capabilities of end users in Kenya.
As a Company we believe in access to affordable clean energy for all. Currently only 12.6% of Kenya’s rural population is connected to grid power. For the estimated 30 million people without a connection, solar energy is one of the most reliable and cost effective solutions. Beyond lack of access to grid power, 49% of the rural populations live at the poverty line as defined by the World Bank, which means they have limited or no disposable income for managing the high upfront costs of some solar solutions.
Since 2009, we have sold over 700,000 portable solar lanterns and solar home systems in East Africa. Through this more than 3.5 million people have gained access to clear renewable energy as a result of Sollatek’s activities. We continue to strive to provide clean and reliable energy for all.
In recent years, Sollatek has won two grants pursing the goal of universal energy access, the USADF Power Africa Off-Grid Challenge for Sollatek Solar Centers. We installed 15 income generating solar centers to run cold storage facilities and lighting for fishing coops along the Kenyan Coast. This project was a finalist in the African Innovation Awards. In 2015, SEKL was awarded a grant from Energy and Environment Partnership (EEP) for setting up an solar entrepreneur network across Kenya to encourage last mile sales and distribution of portable solar lanterns and solar home systems.

Impact
L'accès à l'électricité reste insaisissable pour près de 30 millions de Kényans vivant dans les zones rurales. Il n'est pas rare que les gens doivent parfois marcher cinq kilomètres pour faire quelque chose d'aussi simple que de charger un téléphone portable. Sollatek fournit toute une gamme de solutions d'énergie solaire pour assurer un accès fiable à l'énergie pour les entreprises et les foyers. L'énergie solaire étant moins chère et plus fiable que le réseau électrique, les activités de Sollatek changent la vie des populations rurales. Depuis 2009, leurs lanternes solaires portables et leurs systèmes solaires domestiques ont permis à plus de 3,5 millions de personnes d'Afrique de l'Est d'avoir accès à une énergie propre et renouvelable.
Les foyers ayant accès à une électricité propre et abordable ne dépendent plus de combustibles nocifs et dangereux pour la santé comme le kérosène pour éclairer les lanternes. Cela permet d'assurer une augmentation des revenus, car l'énergie des foyers et des entreprises devient gratuite au fil du temps. Étant donné que les lumières fiables assurent plus de sécurité pendant la nuit et permettent aux enfants d'étudier plus longtemps pour améliorer leurs résultats à l'école, cela améliore considérablement les moyens de subsistance en milieu rural.
