Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our dryers & solar systems

Have questions before getting in touch? Here are answers to the most common queries we receive.

Sundara solar dryers use solar thermal collectors and solar-powered extraction fans to circulate clean, warm air through enclosed chambers. They dry mangoes, tomatoes, bananas, herbs, chillies, mushrooms, ginger, and grains up to 3× faster than open-air sun drying while keeping out dust, rain, insects, and mold.

Yes! We conduct free site visits for homes, farms, businesses, and institutions across Kenya. Our engineers inspect your roof or land, evaluate your energy load or recent KPLC bills, and deliver a right-sized engineering proposal with transparent payback timelines.

We deploy three core families: 15 kg Cabinet Dryers (ideal for individual farmers, product trials, and training), 50 kg Cabinet Dryers (our workhorse for farmer groups and community hubs), and 300 kg+ Greenhouse Walk-In Dryers (engineered for cooperatives and commercial processors).

Yes. We actively collaborate with agricultural cooperatives, SACCOs, and development finance partners to structure flexible asset-financing, lease-to-own models, and grant-supported installations for community processing points.

All solar installations and dryers come with certified manufacturer warranties (including up to 25-year panel performance warranties), comprehensive workmanship warranties, documented as-built handover, and responsive technical maintenance support.

We partner with international research institutes (including University of Hohenheim and INNOTECH), agricultural development NGOs, and grant funders on post-harvest loss reduction, farmer capacity building, and clean energy pilots. You can reach out directly via the form above.

Trusted by Farmers, Cooperatives & Homeowners

Real results from agricultural communities and households across Kenya who have partnered with Sundara Africa to preserve harvest value and achieve reliable solar energy.

40%+ loss prevented
"Before Sundara Africa installed our greenhouse solar dryer, post-harvest losses routinely took away over 40% of our mango and tomato harvests during peak season gluts. Now, our cooperative dehydrates over 300 kg per batch in hygienic, sealed conditions. Our members sell dried fruit to premium urban markets all year at three times the fresh gate price."

100% diesel displaced
"Sundara engineered and commissioned our 20 kWp solar water pumping scheme in Laikipia. Replacing our diesel generator completely eliminated our heaviest recurring monthly expense and ensured continuous drip irrigation throughout dry seasons. Their technical team handled everything from civil foundations to electrical commissioning with complete professionalism."

80% bill reduction
"Frequent power blackouts were disrupting my work and damaging household appliances. Sundara installed a 12 kWp solar array with a 20 kWh lithium battery storage system in Karen. The automatic switchover during grid drops is instantaneous and whisper-quiet. Our monthly power bills dropped by over 80%."

Export-grade quality
"Sundara's 50 kg cabinet solar dryer has allowed our women's agribusiness to dehydrate bananas, herbs, and mushrooms with consistent color and flavor. Open-air drying left us vulnerable to rain and dust; now we supply sealed, certified dried produce to retail shops in Nairobi year-round."
