Rooftop Solar System installed for hospitals in Mombasa, Kenya

“As a 76 year old institution, we always look for the best. After surveying 2 to 3 suppliers, we decided that Orb Energy was the perfect partner because they are very approachable and highly committed. After installing rooftop solar, we are now saving approximately 30 to 40% on our monthly electricity bill, which helps us provide more affordable healthcare to our patients. Orb’s after-sales service is also commendable and dedicated. We are now planning to upgrade to another 200 kilowatt rooftop solar system with Orb, so we can generate free electricity for our entire hospital without any hesitation I recommend Orb Energy to all.”
