Project Overview
Safi Power successfully designed and installed a 100 kWp rooftop solar PV system for Ngong Hills Hotel, a premier 4-star hospitality landmark along Ngong Road in Nairobi.Delivered under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model, the project allowed the hotel to switch to solar energy with zero upfront capital investment. The system now helps reduce electricity costs, enhance energy reliability, and support sustainable operations.
