·
April 22, 2026
With Uganda's average of 5.5 peak sun hours per day, solar power is one of the most cost-effective energy solutions for farms and off-grid businesses.
What Does a Farm Solar System Cost?
A basic system costs between UGX 3 million and UGX 8 million installed. A larger system for irrigation and cooling can cost UGX 15 million to UGX 50 million.
Payback Period
Most farm solar systems pay for themselves within 3 to 5 years, after which electricity is essentially free.
What Equipment Do You Need?
A complete solar system includes panels, a charge controller, batteries, and an inverter. Talk to the Dunron team to get a customised solar quote.
