What Solar Solutions PNG Ltd does

Solar Solutions PNG Ltd, founded in 2013 and headquartered in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, is a private solar energy distributor and off-grid power solutions provider. The company operates physical sales offices in Port Moresby (ANZ Bank Compound) and Lae (Morobe Haus), and distributes a curated portfolio of products from more than 15 international solar brands — including Barefoot Power, Sun King, BioLite, ENGIE Mobisol, Future Pump, Koolboks, Water Makers Australia, and Solar Bollard Lighting. Its core product offering centers on solar home systems and solar bollard lighting, with adjacent modules covering portable solar lighting, solar-powered water pumping and filtration, solar irrigation pumps, solar refrigeration, clean cooking solutions, and battery energy storage.

The company serves four overlapping customer segments: rural households in off-grid areas (primary), schools and health facilities in remote regions, NGOs and development organizations (primary), and corporate entities executing CSR programs. Notable reference projects include the 2022 installation of state-of-the-art solar bollard lighting at the PNG National Parliament in Waigani, and a strategic partnership with the Kokoda Track Foundation to electrify every household, school, and health facility along the Kokoda Track corridor. The business model combines one-time solar product sales, professional installation services, and project-based rural electrification work delivered through NGO and corporate partnerships, with quote-based pricing and no public rate card. Go-to-market blends direct-to-consumer sales through the two physical offices with channel-partner demand generation through NGOs and corporate CSR programs.
