These awards reflect more than company success, they mirror Spenomatic’s commitment to delivering clean energy solutions that are technically sound, financially viable, and environmentally responsible.
Supporting Kenya’s Clean Energy Vision
Kenya has set bold goals for its energy future. The country aims to achieve 100 GW of renewable capacity by 2040 and deliver universal access to clean power. Already, over 76% of Kenya’s installed capacity comes from renewable sources. Solar energy has become one of the most essential components of this transition.
In line with these national goals, Spenomatic has played a key role. Our work at Sarit Centre Mall, for instance, shows how solar energy can be integrated into large-scale commercial infrastructure. The project has significantly cut energy costs while reducing emissions, making it a model for similar developments.
Engineering at the Core
A big part of Spenomatic’s success stems from our capable engineering team. Known for technical precision, the team brings a blend of innovation, design thinking, and on-the-ground execution. Their ability to design systems that fit Kenya’s unique climate and infrastructure needs sets them apart. The “Best Engineering Team” award serves as a strong endorsement of their capability and passion.
Moreover, their work doesn’t stop at implementation. The team regularly monitors, optimizes, and updates systems to ensure clients get maximum efficiency over time.
Sales with Strategy and Integrity
Spenomatic’s sales team has built its success not just on numbers, but on relationships. The award-winning team prioritizes understanding client needs. They then tailor solutions that fit both budget and performance goals. This client-focused approach leads to long-term partnerships, rather than one-off transactions.
As a result, their reputation for trust and value continues to grow. This award recognizes that ethical, informed selling is just as important as engineering excellence.
Finance That Enables Scale
Financial sustainability is crucial in the energy sector. Spenomatic’s finance team has played a pivotal role in structuring investment-ready solar projects. Whether negotiating Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), structuring lease models, or budgeting for scale, they’ve ensured every project remains viable and impactful.
Their work enables both the company and its clients to scale renewable energy solutions without taking unnecessary financial risks.
Leadership that Moves the Industry Forward
At the center of this success is Navpreet Singh, the company’s strategic leader. His award for “Excellence in Strategic Leadership” recognizes his ability to steer the company through an evolving market while staying ahead of the curve. Under his leadership, Spenomatic has grown from a regional player to a recognized leader in Kenya’s solar industry.
Navpreet’s leadership goes beyond business. He has fostered a company culture built on innovation, collaboration, and a shared purpose, delivering reliable solar energy to those who need it most.

Spenomatic Solar A History of Excellence
This isn’t the first time Spenomatic has made waves at the Solar Week Kenya Awards. In fact, we’ve now won “Solar Company of the Year – EPC” for four consecutive years. That consistency reflects a deep-seated dedication to quality and growth.
It also reinforces the idea that sustainability isn’t a trend for Spenomatic, it’s a core value and long-term mission.
Fueling Africa’s Clean Energy Future
Africa stands at a tipping point. As the continent’s population grows and economies expand, the need for reliable, affordable energy becomes more urgent. Solar power offers a clear solution, and companies like we Spenomatic are leading the way.
By bringing solar to malls, industries, schools, and communities, we are changing how Kenya powers its growth. These efforts don’t just reduce carbon footprints, they create jobs, support education, and drive economic development.
Moreover, our projects are helping businesses become energy independent, which strengthens Kenya’s energy resilience in the face of global uncertainties.
