Solar Energy

Ontrack Solar Uganda delivers engineered solar power for institutions, industries, schools, hospitals and large commercial facilities. We design, install, repair and maintain solar energy systems built to perform for decades, backed by measurable savings and a service relationship, not just an installation.

Solar That Pays for Itself

Electricity is one of the largest operating costs for factories, schools and institutions in Uganda. Sitting on the equator, Uganda receives 5 to 6 peak sun hours nearly every day of the year, one of the best solar resources on earth. A correctly engineered solar system converts that free resource into a major reduction in your monthly power bill, with panels warrantied for 25 years.

Hybrid Solar Systems: Solar and the Grid Working Together

We specialise in hybrid solar systems where solar and hydro grid power complement each other: solar carries your daytime load when consumption is highest, while the grid covers the night. This reduces costly battery banks, cuts upfront cost and delivers faster payback than off-grid designs. Where backup power is critical, such as boarding schools, health facilities and production lines, we size battery storage honestly, using lithium technology rated for thousands of cycles instead of the short-lived batteries that kill most systems.

Solar Installation for Institutions, Industries and Schools

Every Ontrack installation starts with your actual consumption data, not a brochure. We perform honest load calculations, design around your site, install brand-name quality-assured components, and hand over with full documentation, metering and written warranties. These are systems designed to hit year ten, not year two.

Solar Repair and Maintenance in Uganda

Is your existing solar system dead or underperforming? You are not alone. Most solar failures in Uganda come from undersized batteries, poor installation and zero after-sales service, while the panels themselves still have decades of life left. Ontrack revives abandoned solar systems and keeps them alive with professional maintenance contracts: scheduled checkups, performance reporting, a named technician and defined response times. We already maintain telecom-grade solar and electrical sites for major operators. Your institution gets the same discipline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a commercial solar system cost in Uganda?
It depends on your consumption and site. Contact our team with your recent electricity bills and we will prepare exact figures for your facility, not a generic quote.

Does solar work in the rainy season?
Yes. Panels generate in daylight, not only direct sunshine, and Uganda’s equatorial position means solar output stays remarkably stable year-round. Hybrid design covers the rest.

Can you repair a solar system installed by another company?
Yes. Solar repair and system rescue are core Ontrack services. We assess what failed and why, then quote the revival, usually a fraction of the cost of a new system.
