The challenge

Farmers lose value when clean preservation is out of reach.

Across Africa, smallholder farmers face major losses from unreliable preservation, limited cold chains and expensive energy. Sundara Africa’s solar drying model converts abundant sunlight into shelf-stable products and stronger rural incomes.

Our solutions

Three engines for impact and sustainability.

Impact engine

Solar Drying

Decentralized solar dryer hubs that help farmers preserve produce, improve food safety, and reach better-value markets.

Revenue engine

Solar for Farmers

Solar systems for irrigation, cold storage, processing and farm operations where reliable power unlocks productivity.

Cash-flow engine

Residential Solar

Quality solar design, installation and support for homes, institutions and small businesses across Kenya.

Solar dryer prototypes

From cabinet dryers to scalable greenhouse systems.

15 kgCabinet dryer for controlled testing
50 kgCabinet dryer for community pilots
300 kgGreenhouse dryer for cooperative use
