Solaire Africa anchors regional growth with new headquarters in Nairobi
NAIROBI, Kenya, June 20 – Solaire Africa has officially inaugurated its new continental headquarters in Nairobi solidifying Kenya as the strategic anchor for its ambitious pan-African expansion, Backed by nearly three decades of power system manufacturing expertise and a proven track record of 3.5 megawatts of solar capacity already deployed locally, the permanent base marks a major milestone in the brand’s mission to scale clean energy solutions across the continent.
From its new offices in Westlands, the company will run regional sales, system design and after-sales support for East Africa, building from a base already established across the country. Kenya now sits alongside India as one of Solaire’s two operating hubs, the point from which the brand intends to scale market by market.
Solaire’s story began in 1998 in India and has grown into a group carrying twenty-eight years of power system manufacturing a 200,000 square foot facility, in-house research and development and operations across more than fourteen countries, among them the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Tanzania and the United States.
Its hardware was engineered against thegrid-instability conditions that define many of these markets, rather than adapted to them after the fact.
The Nairobi launch arrives as Kenyan businesses and households increasingly turn to solar power and storage to control electricity costs and protect operations against grid interruptions.
Solaire Africa enters the market as a complete solar power solutions provider. It brings the full category under a single point of accountability: solar inverters, lithium storage, Tier-1 solar panels, solar water heaters and the balance-of-system hardware that completes a working installation, scaled from individual homes to utility-scale plants.
Installation and on-site executionin Kenya are carried out through trusted EPC partners, with the ten-year manufacturer warranty staying with Solaire.
That capability is already proven in the country. Solaire’s installed base in Kenya spans residential, commercial and industrial sites and totals 3.5MW, delivered before the company opened its permanent Nairobi headquarters.
Chairman of Solaire, Mr. Muhamed Ali Chenangadan said the move reflects a long-held conviction rather than a new opportunity. “We did not come to Kenya to sell boxes, The power problems this country lives with every day are the same problems we set out to solve in 1998,” He said.
“Twenty-eight years of power system manufacturing taught us one thing above all. Engineer it to last, and stand behind it. Nairobi is now the second home of that promise.”
Mr. Mohammed Rinas Chenangadan, CEO and Director of Solaire Africa, said the Nairobi base is built for what comes next. “Kenya is not a test market for us. It is the platform for everything that follows on the continent”.
“We bring the complete solution and the long-term guarantee. Trusted partners bring it to site. The warranty stays with us for ten years. That is the model we are scaling from this office.”
Mr gourab sarkar, director solar africa said “we are going to conduct Training programme across the country where interested engineers can enroll and get hand on product knowledge and certificate on completions and also eligible canditate will be absorb by solaire africa to deploy them in our upcoming projects under our payroll”.
“We want to educate more and more professionals as along with increasedemand of solar project also increasing demand of trained manpower”.
