Frecon Solar has managed to carve a name for itself in a world desperately in need of clean technologies to reduce energy consumption and the waste of natural resources. Renewable energy is seen as the solution for climate change, putting the environment, humanity, and economic security first to achieve sustainability. Initially starting in the informal trading sector in 2012 as Frecon

Electric, it was later registered in 2016 as Frecon Solar. The company is led by joint CEOs, Farai Mandinenga and Rebecca Musemwa, who oversee the Frecon Solar nationwide branches in

Belvedere (Harare), corner Samora Machel Avenue and Chinhoyi Street (Harare), Bulawayo, Karoi, Gweru, Mutare, Masvingo and Bindura.

At the core of their work ethic is the provision of excellent renewable energy solutions to satisfy the challenging needs of their diverse customers. Their vision is to supply quality products and give quality service locally, regionally, and internationally. Their mission is to grow into the premier supplier of solar water pumping and borehole systems for industrial, household and agricultural use in the region in line with a policy of sustainability.

Since its formation it has completed many projects across the country in solar water pumping systems, home borehole installations and consultancy. Steady growth has been achieved on the back of a buoyant solar energy industry and the robust support of sound technical management.

The company brings to the market a diverse range of products including solar lighting, solar heating, solar pumping systems and solar power systems (solar panels, batteries, inverters, water pumps, lights and more.)

The bulk of these products are sourced from India and have allowed the company to satisfy the needs of its diverse customers. The company is responding to the Renewable Energy Policy recently announced by the government of Zimbabwe.

The company supplies individuals, corporates and farmers for solar water pumping systems. This delivery experience is anchored by high-end technology and the desire to satisfy increasing demand.

“We believe in technology; we have a group of young engineers who strive day and night researching to come up with the most appropriate solution to meet the expectations of all Zimbabweans. We sell highend products and our prices are second to none,” said the CEOs.

The company currently employs more than 50 staff and has plans to build at least four solar plants in Zimbabwe by 2030. Setting up of the plants will be dependent on the company receiving the license and land for the project from the government.
