Umar Ali, the top @mkopasolar DSR in Mpigi, Uganda, shows us how modern electricity rolls out across rural Africa... forget copper wire, this guy brings Solar lighting and TV to off-grid homes every day on the back of a motorbike!
@KenyaPower_Care your technicians have left a dangerous situation on Kunde Rd in Lavington this morning. Smoke and sparks exploding from the control box. Power is out but the fire risk and safety is the larger concern. Please send qualified technicians asap

Scaling rapidly to over 1,000 full-time employees is tough. Just ask @MKOPASolar. They did it by accelerating their digital transformation, and you can too. #tech #MSFTDynamics365 stuf.in/b1b8rj
Glad to be the biggest customer for Solinc - a great company with high quality products. I hope we can continue to grow local manufacturing in Kenya! @mkopasolar
