RUBiSOL commissions 485kWp solar rooftop system in Athi River

RUBiSOL, the strategic joint venture between Solarise Africa and RUBiS Energy Kenya, proudly announces the successful commissioning of a state-of-the-art 485kWp solar rooftop system at B. Braun Pharmaceuticals in Athi River, Machakos County, Kenya. Commissioned at the end of March, this project is a milestone in the healthcare company’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and energy efficiency.

A trusted name in the pharmaceutical industry, B. Braun has taken a bold step towards sustainability by equipping all buildings at its Athi River facility with cutting-edge solar technology. The installation comprises 1,102 high-performance 440W solar modules and a robust inverter configuration of two 100kW, two 50kW, and two 33kW inverters. The system is expected to deliver estimated lifetime savings of USD 393,220 over the contract period and offset approximately 3,995.9 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.

“We are excited to take this significant step toward a cleaner future,” said Mr. Rodgers Oloo, Project Engineer at B. Braun Pharmaceuticals. “This project is a testament to our ongoing commitment to sustainable development and energy independence.”

This installation highlights the growing demand for decentralised energy solutions among Commercial & Industrial (C&I) clients in East Africa and reflects the strong impact of RUBiSOL’s integrated offering: combining local presence, deep sector expertise, and smart financing.

“Projects like this demonstrate the real potential of renewable energy in transforming industries,” said Jan Albert Valk, Co-Founder and CEO of Solarise Africa. “We’re proud to work with B. Braun, a leader in healthcare, to power progress through clean, affordable, and reliable solar solutions.”

“Partnering with B. Braun on this initiative is an honour,” said Olivier Sabrié, CEO of RUBiS Energie East Africa and Group Managing Director of RUBiS Energy Kenya. “This collaboration highlights the cost and carbon savings achievable through decentralized solar and paves the way for delivering tailored power solutions across commercial clients in East Africa.”

By harnessing renewable energy, B. Braun is actively supporting national energy security, reducing operational costs, and aligning its operations with the global shift towards climate-resilient business practices. The partnership with RUBiSOL signals a future-focused strategy that leverages innovation to build long-term environmental and economic value.
