What We Deliver Under Green Energy Solutions
DollarEdge Consultancy Ltd. is committed to solving one of Kenya and Africa's most urgent challenges — access to reliable and clean energy for schools and households. Our Green Energy Solutions practice exists to close the gap between where communities are today and a future where clean, dependable power is simply part of how a school runs, a household lives, and a community grows economically.
Our work spans six connected areas: solarizing classrooms and schools with battery-backed installations sized for real usage; empowering off-grid households through M-PESA pay-as-you-go solar financing; promoting circular solar technology through certified sourcing and responsible end-of-life management; running environmental education and awareness programmes that make clean energy adoption stick; building partnerships with investors, development agencies and government bodies to scale impact; and training young people and local technicians to sustain the clean-energy ecosystem long after we leave.
Each of these areas reinforces the others. A solarized school benefits from the environmental awareness work that helps students and staff understand and care for the system. A household PAYG programme benefits from locally trained technicians who can respond to maintenance needs nearby, rather than a distant call centre. A partnership-funded programme benefits from the on-the-ground delivery capability we have built through years of direct installation work.
We work to international clean-energy delivery standards, bringing an established partnership and delivery framework to every engagement — whether that is a single school, a household cluster, or a multi-site programme structured with an investor or county government. Our approach throughout is the same: right-sized solutions, genuine local capacity, and a full lifecycle view of what sustainable clean energy actually requires.
The Problems Behind the Request
Energy Poverty at Household & School Level
Millions of households and schools across Kenya still lack reliable electricity, cutting off lighting, digital learning and basic appliance use.
Slow, Uncertain Grid Access
Grid extension to rural and underserved communities is frequently delayed for years or never arrives at all, leaving no near-term alternative.
High Cost of Diesel & Kerosene
Households and institutions relying on kerosene lamps or diesel generators face recurring, volatile costs that a one-time clean energy investment avoids.
E-Waste From Poor-Quality Solar Kits
Cheap, uncertified solar equipment fails early and risks becoming environmental waste without a responsible disposal pathway.
Low Climate & Clean-Energy Awareness
Solar infrastructure delivers limited lasting impact when communities lack the awareness and understanding to sustain the behaviour change around it.
Lack of Financing for Clean Energy
Large upfront costs put clean energy out of reach for many households and institutions without flexible, accessible financing options.

Common Questions From Buyers
We cover six connected areas: school solarization, off-grid household electrification, circular solar technology, environmental education, partnership structuring, and local technician and entrepreneurship training.
Both, and more. We work directly with schools, individual households, communities, county and national government bodies, and investors and development agencies funding clean energy programmes.
Households pay for a solar home kit in flexible monthly instalments via M-PESA, starting from as little as KSh 500 a month, with a defined path to full ownership once the plan is complete.
It depends on the school's classrooms, ICT labs and boarding facilities. Our school installations range from 3kW for a small primary school up to 50kW for a large boarding campus, sized after a site assessment.
Battery storage is included in our school and household installations specifically so power is available in the evening and early morning, not just during daylight hours.
We assess components for refurbishment potential before recommending replacement, and route genuinely end-of-life panels and batteries through responsible recycling pathways rather than general waste.
Yes. School and household installations include staff or household training, and we run a dedicated technical training programme building local technician capacity in the communities we serve.
Yes. We structure co-funded programmes with investors, development agencies and government bodies, combining technical delivery with funder-ready impact reporting.
We follow international clean-energy delivery standards covering component quality, installation safety, and post-installation performance monitoring, applied consistently across every school, household, and partnership programme.
School installations typically take two to six weeks depending on system size; household kit installations are usually completed within a day once the PAYG plan is set up.
Yes. Environmental education and awareness programmes are available as a standalone engagement for schools, communities and county partners, not only alongside an installation.
Yes. We work directly with county governments on phased school electrification, household programmes, and environmental education initiatives aligned with local policy priorities.
Our primary focus is Kenya, with partnership and delivery capacity extending across East Africa depending on the programme and partner requirements.
Pricing depends on the specific service — school installations, household PAYG plans, training cohorts and partnership programmes are each scoped and quoted individually after an initial assessment.
Reach out through our quote or consultation request, and we will schedule an assessment appropriate to your context — a school, a household, a community, or a partnership programme.
