Commercial and industrial solar PV design and installation in Zambia

Zambia's leading engineer-led solar contractor: we design, install and commission C&I solar, solar-diesel hybrid and backup systems — and we repair the inverters and controllers afterwards, which most installers cannot.

What we install

Commercial and industrial rooftop and ground-mount solar PV, solar-diesel hybrid systems, backup and load-shedding systems for offices, plants, farms, schools, clinics and telecom sites. Panels, mounting, hybrid inverters, charge controllers, automatic transfer switches, protection, metering and remote monitoring.

Why an engineering company, not a reseller

Most solar in Zambia is sold by traders who install a kit and disappear when the inverter fails. We design the electronics, we repair hybrid inverters, charge controllers, battery management systems, rectifiers and transfer switches on our own bench, and we commission the system against the load it actually has to carry. When something fails in year three, the people who installed it can fix it.

Design and due diligence

Load profiling and sizing, yield and payback modelling, single-line design, protection coordination, and independent technical due diligence on C&I solar, hybrid, battery storage, mini-grid and distributed energy projects — the service we offer banks and lenders as well as site owners.

Built for Zambian conditions

Systems are designed around load-shedding patterns, import lead times and thin on-site maintenance capacity. Monitoring is specified so a fault is known before the site calls it in, and spares are chosen for what can actually be sourced here.

Where we work: Lusaka and across Zambia — mining, water utilities, telecom, manufacturing, food and beverage, milling and government sites. Workshop at Plot No. 34, Harrison Chongo Road, Nyumbayanga, Lusaka. Call or WhatsApp +260 974 546 632, or email sales@hcsys.co.

Questions we are asked

Do you install solar for businesses and industry, not just homes?

Commercial and industrial is our focus: offices, plants, farms, schools, clinics and telecom sites, including solar-diesel hybrid and backup systems.

Can you repair our existing solar inverter or charge controller?

Yes — that is unusual in this market and it is our core strength. We repair hybrid inverters, charge controllers, battery management systems and transfer switches at component level.

Can you assess a solar project someone else has quoted?

Yes. We carry out independent technical due diligence on C&I solar, hybrid and battery storage projects, including for lenders.

Do you maintain the system after installation?

Yes, under a maintenance agreement, with thermal inspection of the array, combiner boxes and switchgear included.
