What SmartSana Energies does
A field team. We size every system, supply the equipment and install it with our own technicians, then we look after it: remote monitoring, preventive maintenance and an installation warranty.
Health and NGOs. Since 2020 we have powered Georgetown Global Health Cameroon’s TIDE programme (PEPFAR / CDC): 27 systems at 22 health facilities, maintained every year and, since 2024, for EGPAF. We also powered the Capzone rurale training centre in Bandja for Engineers Without Borders Switzerland.
Homes and businesses. Backup kits from 385,000 FCFA, complete solar systems for homes, and three-phase hybrid systems for businesses, such as the 30 kVA system at STIHL Central Africa in Douala.
Training the trade. With SmartSana Academy we train solar installers in Yaoundé: three months of classes and practice on our job sites.
