We are a mid-sized company employing 16 staff and doing business in central and western Uganda. With our market base in the upcountry districts growing year by year, we are determined to reach our services to the last mile consumers that have been left out of the renewable energy revolution. For this financial year, we are operationalizing our upcountry office in Kasese (Kigezi sub region). This will greatly increase our reach among customers and propel our growth.
Service Description
We sell customized systems that are sized according to the customers’ preference. By analysing the sales data, the average prices of systems sold are approximately UGX. 2,500,000 for solar home systems, UGX. 3,500,000 for water heaters and UGX. 70,000,000 for Backup systems. Our products are majorly sourced from Chinese manufacturers as well as local distributors depending on the circumstances. Currently with lead acid batteries common on the market, there is limitation in terms of access to better battery technology. i.e Lithium ion batteries. Ever Trusty offers solar system options based on Lithium-ion batteries to customers and seeks to move into a comprehensive Lithium-ion based offering for backup systems sold to institutions. There is consensus to move to more green solar technology such as Lithium ion batteries because they have a longer life cycle and thus it limits the rate of accumulation of e-waste while improving the customer experience with solar systems. We also provide repair and maintenance services to customers and a product warranty of up to 2 years.
