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
