In Uganda, sunshine is one thing we can count on. What we cannot always count on is electricity. Between high bills and sudden blackouts, many homes and businesses are looking for a better way to power their lives. Solar panels take the sunshine we get every day and turn it into electricity you can use, giving you control over your power supply.
At Fern Engineering & Supplies, we install solar systems that work for Ugandan conditions. Whether you are running a shop in Kampala, a school in Masaka, a farm in Soroti, or a home in Jinja, we can design a setup that keeps your lights on, your equipment running, and your costs down.
We supply different types of solar panels including Monocrystalline panels, great for high efficiency in smaller spaces. Polycrystalline panels, more budget-friendly and still reliable.
Whether you need a small system for basic lighting or a large one to power heavy equipment, we can make it happen.
At Fern Engineering & Supplies, we provide solar solutions from start to finish. Even after installation, we are there with you.
We begin with a visit to your site. We check your power needs, available space, and the best angles for sunlight. Based on that, we design a system that fits your budget and requirements.
We supply panels from trusted brands that are built to last in our weather. They are resistant to strong sun, heavy rain, and dust. We also provide inverters, batteries, and charge controllers if you need storage or backup.
Our technicians install everything professionally. We make sure the panels are positioned to capture as much sunlight as possible and the system is connected safely. For hybrid setups, we integrate your solar with grid power or a generator so you always have electricity.
If something goes wrong, our repair team is ready to help. We also offer maintenance services, like cleaning panels, checking connections, and testing output. With regular care, your system can run efficiently for decades.
We work with individuals, companies, farms, NGOs, and institutions all over Uganda. No matter the size of the project, we deliver a solution you can rely on.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the size of your system, the type of panels, and whether you include batteries. Small home systems can be affordable, while bigger setups for businesses or institutions require a larger budget. We give you a quote after assessing your needs.
Will it work on cloudy days?
Yes. Panels still produce electricity, just at lower levels. With the right design and storage, you can still meet your essential needs.
Do I need batteries?
If you want to store power for night use or blackouts, yes. If you mainly want to reduce your daytime electricity bill and have a reliable grid connection, you might not need them.
How long do panels last?
Quality panels last 20 to 25 years or more. Efficiency may drop slightly over time, but they remain useful for decades.
Can solar run heavy appliances?
Yes, if the system is designed for it. Fridges, pumps, or industrial machines need more capacity and stronger inverters.
What maintenance is needed?
Mostly cleaning and occasional checks. We recommend a yearly inspection to keep things working well.
Can you install them on any roof?
Most roofs work, but we inspect first to be sure. If your roof isn’t suitable, we can install ground-mounted systems.
Will I still get a bill?
If you are off-grid, no. If you are connected to the grid in a hybrid setup, your bill will go down depending on how much solar you use.
Are they weatherproof?
Yes. Our panels are designed to handle Uganda’s wet and dry seasons.
Do you handle big projects?
Yes. We install solar for farms, schools, hospitals, and large companies across the country.
Solar panels are more than just an alternative to the grid. They are a smart investment in reliable, clean, and affordable power. In Uganda’s sunny climate, they are one of the most dependable ways to keep your home or business running without interruptions.
At Fern Engineering & Supplies, we make solar simple. From choosing the right panels to installing and maintaining them, we give you a system that works for years to come.
