Partners

TanzSolar is partnering with other companies and organizations in Tanzania to further the goals of the organization.  In some cases we have formed a public-private partnership where we are supporting the activities of profit-making companies in an effort to create a sustainable solar industry.  These companies are contracted to market and sell the products identified by TanzSolar at fair market prices.  Our first such partner is Jua Ltd. in Musoma.
