Across Uganda, reliable energy is more than convenience  -  it’s the foundation for hospitals, schools, businesses, and communities to thrive. Lumi Solar is answering that need with clean, high-quality solar solutions built for long-term impact.


Founded in August 2018 by Jesse W. Geiger, Lumi Solar has become a trusted provider of solar design, installation, maintenance, and backup power solutions across Uganda  -  with strong roots in Northern Uganda.


What They’re Solving

In many communities, inconsistent electricity causes:

  • interrupted healthcare services

  • limited learning opportunities

  • stalled business operations

  • increased reliance on polluting energy sources


Lumi Solar addresses these challenges with professional systems that are built to last, supported by consistent after-installation service.


Built on Reliability, Not Shortcuts

Lumi Solar’s approach reflects a commitment to quality and trust. They originally offered Pay-As-You-Go systems to increase access  -  but evolved into full cash-based project delivery to ensure financial stability and consistent service quality.


Their work includes:

  • solar system design and installation

  • maintenance and power audits

  • backup power solutions

  • long-term partnerships with institutions and NGOs


Milestones That Show Their Impact

Lumi Solar’s growth is rooted in proven performance:

  • Completed over 35 solar projects

  • Long-term partnerships with institutions like Watoto Child Care Ministries and Te-Kworo Foundation

  • The largest project to date: Kworo Sonic Hospital in Agago District, delivering dependable power with 140 solar panels installed


This project alone has transformed healthcare delivery by reducing outages and improving energy reliability.



The Road Ahead

Lumi Solar’s vision is clear: a future where clean energy is accessible, dependable, and professionally maintained across Uganda.

Their next steps include:

  • expanding solar solutions across more institutions

  • strengthening local jobs and technical capacity

  • continuing to build systems that last


Lumi Solar is not just installing panels  -  they’re building energy freedom and long-term stability for communities.


The future is being shaped right now. Follow along.
