About us

Farming should not depend on the weather or the price of diesel.

Sunrova is a Kenyan solar-water-pump company built by people who grew up watching harvests fail for want of a working pump. We package the pump, the panels, the plumbing, the installation, the training, and the financing into one honest kit — so a farmer's harvest, not their savings, pays for it.

Our story

A pump, a panel, and a promise to keep showing up.

Across Kenya and the wider region, roughly 570 million smallholder farming households grow the food that feeds families and cities. Most do it with rain that arrives late, diesel that eats profit, and grid power that never comes.

We started Sunrova to fix the affordability problem first. Our Pay-As-You-Grow plan lets a farmer put down a small deposit, pay a monthly installment out of the extra harvest a working pump makes possible, and own the system outright at the end.

We stayed close enough to the farm to keep getting the rest right — sizing systems honestly, installing them in a day, and picking up the phone when something needs attention.

Our vision

A world where people take control of their environment in rewarding and sustainable ways.

Our mission

To develop and commercialise life-changing technologies that solve the biggest daily challenges of the world's 570 million smallholder farming households.

What we sell

A complete solar water pump kit — panel, pump, drip lines, install, training and support — on a Pay-As-You-Grow plan a smallholder can actually carry.
