RCD Solar Company, based in Sierra Leone, commenced operations in January 2005.
Following the end of Sierra Leone’s civil war, the national electricity grid faced significant challenges, resulting in a pressing need for alternative power solutions for small-scale organizations, institutions, shops, hospitals, and domestic homes. Small and medium-sized generators became a widespread but imperfect solution during this period. While they provided power, their drawbacks included high running costs, limited efficiency, and intolerable noise, especially during nighttime. The combined noise created an unsettling environment in neighborhoods where generators were standard.
The emergence of renewable energy, particularly solar power, offered a sustainable, quiet, and reliable solution for power supply on both small and large scales for businesses and households. Recognizing this potential, the Rural, Commercial, and Domestic (RCD) Solar Company was established to provide clean and dependable energy solutions for institutions, commercial enterprises, rural communities, and domestic households.
RCD Solar is one of the pioneering solar companies in Sierra Leone, with a proven track record of over 550 successful projects and more than 750 satisfied customers. Over 50 skilled professionals have been trained and developed through our company. We have powered many clients, from small businesses to large-scale enterprises. Established to deliver clean, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions, RCD Solar serves institutions, commercial entities, rural communities, and residential households.
