Introducing Segen Solar & Segen Tanzania: Your Renewable Energy Distribution Partner for Growth Across Africa
07 Sep 2026

AFSIA is pleased to introduce our Corporate Member, SegenSolar, one of Africa’s leading distributors of solar PV and energy storage solutions.

Backed by the global Segen Group, established in the United Kingdom in 2004, Segen has grown into a trusted international renewable energy distribution business, combining global expertise, world-class supplier partnerships, and innovative digital tools to support the growth of the solar industry across multiple markets. Through its African operations, Segen is committed to helping installers, EPCs, developers and renewable energy professionals overcome market barriers and deliver reliable solar and energy storage projects with confidence.

For more than a decade, SegenSolar South Africa has played a key role in supporting renewable energy growth across the continent through access to Tier 1 products, technical expertise, training, project support and an industry-leading online platform.

SegenSolar South Africa

Headquartered in Northriding, Johannesburg, with service centres in East Rand, Cape Town, Durban and Bloemfontein, SegenSolar serves as the Group’s primary distribution hub for Southern, Western and Central Africa.

 With extensive stockholding, dedicated sales and technical support teams, and real-time access to pricing and product availability through its online portal, Segen enables customers to source world-class renewable energy technologies quickly, efficiently, and reliably. The business has built a strong reputation as a trusted distribution partner, supporting thousands of renewable energy projects across the region.

Segen Tanzania: East Africa’s Renewable Energy Gateway

As part of its continued African expansion, Segen recently launched Segen Tanzania, establishing a dedicated East African hub in Dar es Salaam, one of the region’s most important commercial and logistics gateways.

While SegenSolar South Africa has historically supported customers throughout East Africa, the launch of Segen Tanzania reinforces the Group’s long-term commitment to the region by providing a local stock, local expertise and enhanced customer support. Today, Segen Tanzania serves as the gateway to East Africa, helping customers access industry-leading products, technical resources, training opportunities, and streamlined procurement tailored to the needs of the East African market.

Comprehensive Renewable Energy Solutions

Segen provides EPCs, distributors and solar installers with access to a comprehensive portfolio of renewable energy products, solutions and support services for both residential and commercial energy projects.

Backed by global buying power and established relationships with leading international manufacturers, Segen can source and bring high-quality, proven energy technologies to its customers at competitive and sustainable market pricing. These manufacturer relationships also extend beyond procurement, helping to ensure customers have access to the technical expertise, warranty assistance and after-sales support needed throughout the life of an installation.

Its offering includes:

  • Solar PV modules – a broad range of technologies and specifications suitable for residential, commercial and larger-scale applications.
  • Inverter and hybrid energy technologies – including single-phase and three-phase string inverters, hybrid inverters, off-grid inverters, commercial inverters, battery inverters and power conversion systems (PCS) for energy storage applications.
  • Battery energy storage solutions – from residential low-voltage and high-voltage battery systems through to larger commercial and industrial energy storage solutions.
  • Balance of Plant – the supporting equipment and components required to deliver complete solar and energy storage installations, including electrical protection, cabling, distribution equipment, metering, communications and related system components.
  • Free online design tools – digital tools that help customers design systems, configure compatible solutions and build complete project requirements more efficiently.
  • Project support for commercial deployments – dedicated support for larger and more complex commercial projects, including solution configuration, product selection, technical coordination, procurement planning and project fulfilment.
  • Installer training and product education – training, webinars and technical resources designed to strengthen installer knowledge and support successful product deployment.
  • After-sales and warranty support – ongoing technical and product support, backed by Segen’s relationships with its manufacturing partners, helping customers resolve technical and warranty requirements and giving them greater confidence in the solutions they install.

Supporting Installer and EPC Success

Beyond supplying individual products, Segen can manage the entire procurement requirement of a solar or energy storage project. By consolidating equipment sourcing, product compatibility, procurement, stock planning and project fulfilment through a single supply partner, Segen reduces the time EPCs and installers need to spend sourcing and coordinating equipment across multiple suppliers.

This allows its customers to focus on what they do best: winning projects, designing solutions, installing systems and serving their customers, while Segen takes care of the supply chain behind the project.

Segen’s business model is structured to support rather than compete with their customer base. Segen does not compete with its customers for installation work. Instead, it operates a customer referral programme through which suitable end-user enquiries and project opportunities can be referred to its installer and EPC network, helping its customers generate new opportunities and grow their businesses.

Through its combination of global buying power, carefully selected technologies, complete project procurement, digital design tools, commercial project support and ongoing after-sales service, Segen’s role extends well beyond that of a traditional distributor.

It acts as a renewable energy procurement, technology and project-support partner, helping its customers deliver reliable residential and commercial energy solutions while providing the support required before, during and after every installation.

As Africa’s renewable energy sector continues to expand, Segen is keen to connect with fellow AFSIA members to explore opportunities for collaboration and mutual growth.

Whether you are seeking a trusted supply partner, technical expertise, specialist training, or support expanding your renewable energy activities across East, West, Central, or Southern Africa, the Segen team would be delighted to connect.
