Let’s be honest. Most of the business world is still half asleep. Between the New Year parties and the school fees rush, January often feels like a slow motion month.
But if you’ve been in the solar, power, and ICT infrastructure distribution and installation business in Dar es Salaam for over 15 years+, like we have, you know the truth? January is when the smart money moves.
While others are still drafting their “2026 vision boards,” the real work is already happening at the godowns and the Port of Dar es Salaam. We’ve seen it year after year. Businesses that wait until February to secure their JA Solar panels, inverters, server racks, or security systems end up at the back of a very long queue.
By then, coastal humidity is peaking, TANESCO power surges are more frequent, and demand for commercial solar and backup power systems is surging. That’s when projects slow down, costs rise, and timelines start slipping.
In years, we have seen many brands enter the Tanzanian market. Most don’t survive. The reason is simple. The salt air from the Indian Ocean eats through poor quality casings. The dust in fast-growing neighborhoods chokes budget inverters. Undersized systems fail when the load increases.
When we talk about EVI Power, Huawei eKit,Zkteco, JA Solar, or Hikvision, we’re not talking about logos. We’re talking about equipment that has been tested in the heat of Dar es Salaam, the humidity of Zanzibar, and on real commercial sites with real uptime demands. That’s the difference between a system that looks good on paper and one that actually lasts in Tanzania.
We didn’t build this company by just moving boxes. We built it by serving as the technical backstop for solar installers, ICT integrators, and security contractors across Tanzania, especially when projects become complex.
Our focus for Q1 is simple: stock, speed, and support.
We have solar panels, inverters, batteries, server racks, and security systems in stock today. No waiting for a ship stories. Our dispatch teams move equipment from Dar es Salaam to sites nationwide, fast.
And when it comes to system design, our engineers help you correctly size JA Solar systems, design stable backup power and UPS infrastructure, and deploy Hikvision surveillance and access control systems that perform reliably over the long term.
2026 will not become less competitive. The businesses that stay online, stay secure, and remain operational during outages are the ones that will win.
January is when serious companies lock in their solar, power, and IT infrastructure suppliers before demand spikes and compromises start. If your business struggled with power stability, system failures, or unreliable equipment in 2025, this is the moment to reset.
Our Dar es Salaam warehouse is open. The trucks are moving. The technical teams are ready. If you’re planning a solar installation, power upgrade, security system, or ICT infrastructure project in Tanzania, now is the time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is January important for solar and power projects in Tanzania?
January allows businesses to secure solar panels, inverters, and power equipment before demand spikes, port congestion increases, and installation timelines stretch later in the year.
What solar equipment performs best in Tanzania’s climate?
Equipment designed for heat, humidity, and dust such as JA Solar panels, EVI Power solutions, and Huawei eKit performs significantly better in coastal and urban Tanzanian conditions.
When should businesses plan their 2026 infrastructure upgrades?
Businesses should plan and secure suppliers in Q1 to avoid shortages, rising costs, and compromised system designs during peak demand periods.
Do you supply and support installations outside Dar es Salaam?
Yes. Equipment is dispatched nationwide, and technical support is provided to installers and integrators across Tanzania.
