Solar Net Metering Uganda
Message from the CEO:
Solar Net Metering Uganda Ltd, a renewable energy company headquartered in Kampala, was established in 2019 to enhance electricity access in Uganda. The main goal was to develop a solar net metering billing system for Uganda and expand to Sub-Saharan Africa. In the absence of a net metering policy in Uganda, we initiated off-grid operations, installing stand-alone solar systems on homes in rural Uganda.
We mainly focus on the rural community. The decision was driven by the fact that electricity access in rural areas of Uganda is still very limited. In the future, we predict that solar energy is going to be essential in meeting the growing energy demand. Africa has the largest solar resource worldwide but takes up a small percentage of the global market.
We are determined to change this and offer sustainable clean energy solutions that drive the future of Africa’s economy. To achieve this, we understand that we do require strong partnerships and collaboration from like-minded organizations and we welcome them to work with us. We do acknowledge our development partners and the clients who have supported us in the past and those who have continued to support us. We do thank them immensely and assure them of our unwavering commitment to creating a significant positive impact in our community.
Together we can create a greener future for all.
I thank you.

What is the Problem Being Solved
According to World Bank sustainable energy for all, the percentage of Uganda’s population that has electricity stands at 26.7%
Rural areas are the most affected by lack of electricity supply due to the management of the national grid and inadequate sensitization

What is the Solution Provided
Solar net metering is a concept that allows producers who are also consumers of electricity to add the excess energy that they have produced back to the grid for distribution.
What exactly is Solar Net Metering
Net metering (also known as net energy metering or NEM) is a solar incentive that allows you to store energy in the electric grid. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you need, that energy is sent to the grid in exchange for credits. Then, at night or other times when your solar panels are underproducing, you pull energy from the grid and use these credits to offset the costs of that energy.
