Company
SunFarmer
Reliable and affordable solar energy in developing countries
We build and implement solar energy systems tailored for critical institutions like hospitals and schools in developing countries where electricity is unreliable or absent. Our product includes the design, installation, and maintenance of solar power to ensure consistent energy supply for healthcare, education, and economic activities.
We live in Kathmandu, Nepal, and the company is based here. After YC, we plan to remain based in Kathmandu to stay close to the communities we serve.
Kathmandu is at the center of the region where electricity access is limited and unstable. Being here lets us understand local challenges and work directly with institutions that need reliable solar power.
