Why Solar Microgrids?
- Reliable: Power when and where it’s needed, 24/7 — even without a connection to the mainland grid.
- Clean: No fossil fuels, no smoke, no emissions.
- Local:Community-owned and managed, designed for island realities.
- Resilient:Climate-proof energy systems that withstand rising seas and unpredictable weather.
Protecting Nature, Empowering People
Zanzibar’s islands are rich in biodiversity and natural beauty — coral reefs, mangrove forests, and marine sanctuaries. But these fragile ecosystems are under threat from climate change and pollution.
Solar microgrids reduce dependence on diesel, cutting emissions and protecting air and water quality. By powering eco-tourism, education, and sustainable fishing, they enable green livelihoods while preserving the environment.
Climate Action, Island by Island
As sea levels rise and temperatures climb, small islands are on the frontline of the climate crisis. Solar microgrids are more than just an energy solution — they’re a tool for climate adaptation and energy justice.
This is not just about electricity — it’s about our future. Solar
means schools with lights, clinics with refrigeration, and a chance to thrive on our terms.”
— Community Leader, Pemba Island.
