Biography

Solar Netmetering Uganda is a company licensed by the government and working under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development.

The primary goal  of the company is to design a solar net metering system for Uganda .According to the world bank sustainable energy for all, the percentage  of Uganda’s population that has access to electricity stands at 26.7%.Thus implies that more than 70% of the population is off the national grid.

Rural areas are most affected by lack of electricity supply due to challenges faced in managing electricity distribution.

Through solar net metering, we intend to have solar systems installed in a remote community of Bowa village in Nakaseke District in Uganda.

The installation will come along with a net meter which can run backwards and forwards to give net excess energy that is generated and exported to the grid.

Solar Netmetering Uganda became an IEEE N3XT® Star at G-STIC 2018
