PRESIDENT Samia Suluhu Hassan’s campaign to promote clean energy gets a momentum after solar inverters’ firm—Sun King expands more wings by launching more outlets in Dar es Salaam.

The firm launched three outlets in the metropolitan city in a new drive to mitigate air pollution and environmental degradation in Tanzania.

Renowned local artist Mrisho Mpoto witnessed the launch of one of outlets in Dar es Salaam, emphasing the importance of this initiative for fostering social and economic development.

Mpoto highlighted the firm’s commitment to advancing clean energy solutions, specifically through their newly introduced solar inverter line, which serves as a sustainable alternative to traditional generators that contribute to air and noise pollution.

“The solar inverter line with the new PowerPlay Pro model offers a clean, efficient alternative to generators, which are notorious for causing pollution in both the city centre and surrounding areas,” Mpoto said.

He assured attendees that Sun King products are accessible and affordable, allowing customers to pay for their purchases in instalments.

Mpoto shared a recent initiative where Sun King equipped a maternity ward in the Arusha region with solar inverter solutions.

The effort aims to ensure that expectant mothers have a safe environment for delivery, ultimately reducing child and maternal mortality rates caused by power shortages.

“This launch marks a significant milestone for Sun King, but more importantly, it represents a vital step toward enhancing access to sustainable energy in Tanzanian communities,” he said.

Mpoto added: “Reliable access to electricity is foundational for progress, education, health, and overall quality of life. Unfortunately, many households in Tanzania still struggle with unreliable energy sources. This is where Sun King comes in, providing innovative solar solutions tailored for those who need them most.”

He shared his personal experience as a customer, noting that the Sun King inverter system has enabled him to save over 50 percent on his electricity bills.

“As a resident of Dar es Salaam, I am witnessing first-hand the benefits of this innovative solution,” he said.

In addition to the three newly launched stores, the solar firm has a presence in several areas, including Bunju, Kigamboni, Gongo la Mboto, Mbagala, and Chanika.

Albert Msengezi, Sun King country marketing manager said: “The launch of these new retail stores is a major milestone in our mission to empower communities through sustainable energy solutions,” he said.

The three stores located in Temeke, Buguruni, and Mwenge will offer a variety of Sun King products, including solar lights, home systems, and inverters.

Msengezi highlighted that Sun King operates about 3,000 agents’ nationwide, primarily young men and women, who are helping to reduce unemployment while promoting solar energy solutions.

“Sun King is a catalyst for job creation in the country, with agents and dealers earning commissions based on their sales performance,” he said.

 He described the new PowerPlay Pro as a cost-effective solar solution designed to power lights, high-efficiency refrigerators, televisions, and small business equipment.

Both the PowerHub and PowerPlay Pro systems are available through Sun King’s pay-as-you-go EasyBuy financing, allowing customers to pay in manageable instalments. Msengezi noted that these systems offer significant savings on generator fuel and maintenance costs.

To celebrate the launch, Sun King Brand Ambassador Mrisho Mpoto will perform at the event, engaging with customers and highlighting the benefits of reliable solar energy.
