Market context

Why Solar in Tanzania

Tanzania has one of East Africa's lowest electrification rates, with over 60% of the population living without reliable grid access. TANESCO's grid reaches primarily urban areas, leaving rural communities dependent on kerosene and diesel. Tanzania receives excellent solar irradiance of 5โ€“6 kWh/mยฒ/day and the government has created a favorable policy environment with duty exemptions on solar equipment. ENERVIA supplies the hardware that Tanzanian installers and distributors need to electrify communities.

01

Vast Off-Grid Market

Over 35 million Tanzanians lack reliable electricity. Rural homes, schools, health clinics, and agricultural operations need off-grid solar solutions that can operate independently for decades.

02

Exceptional Solar Resource

Tanzania receives 5โ€“6 kWh/mยฒ/day of solar irradiance โ€” among the highest in the world. This means smaller, more affordable systems can generate the same output as larger systems in less sunny regions.

03

Supportive Government Policy

Tanzania exempts solar equipment from import duties and VAT. The Rural Energy Agency (REA) actively supports off-grid electrification projects, creating a steady pipeline of demand for quality solar hardware.
