Our services
Solar panel installation and support in Dili and across Timor-Leste
We take care of the whole journey — assessment, design, equipment supply, installation, training and maintenance — for homes, organisations and communities.
What’s included
One team from design to after-sales
Whatever the size of your project, you work with the same local team from start to finish.
Assessment & design
Site inspection, load analysis and a system design based on your real energy use.
Equipment supply
Panels, inverters, batteries and mounting selected to suit your site and budget.
Installation & commissioning
Professional installation, testing and commissioning in line with safety and grid standards.
Training & maintenance
Handover training, documentation, monitoring guidance and maintenance planning.
Professional installation
Neat, safe and built to last
Every system is installed by our own technicians — with a properly mounted inverter, a protected distribution board, tidy cable runs in conduit, and full testing before handover.
Residential solar
Solar panel installation for your home
Reduce your electricity bills, keep power on during outages and gain more independence from the grid. We design grid-tied, hybrid and off-grid systems for households in Dili, in the municipalities and in rural areas across Timor-Leste.
- Site visit and system design for your home
- Grid-tied, hybrid or off-grid options
- Optional battery backup for outages and night-time use
- Installation, handover training and maintenance
Commercial & institutional
Commercial solar and battery storage
We design and install solar for offices, schools, health facilities, NGOs and industrial buildings — helping organisations reduce energy costs while keeping daily operations running.
- Site assessment and load analysis
- Grid-tied, hybrid or battery-supported systems
- Installation and commissioning
- Staff training and ongoing support
- Delivery through direct ownership or a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), depending on your needs
Community & off-grid
Off-grid solar for remote communities
For farms, rural households, schools and villages without a reliable grid connection, we deliver compact off-grid systems that are affordable, robust and easy to operate.
- Solar lighting and device charging for households
- Power for schools, clinics and community facilities
- Simple, low-maintenance designs
- Hands-on training so communities can look after their systems
Technical advisory & project development
Renewable energy project development support
We support international consultants, developers, donors and government stakeholders with trusted local expertise — bridging international standards and local conditions so projects are practical and deliverable.
- Field surveys and site verification
- Local coordination with utilities and authorities
- Technical data collection and reporting
- Construction and commissioning support
System types
Which system is right for you?
We will recommend the best option after a site assessment. This overview explains the main differences.
| Grid-tied | Hybrid (solar + battery) | Off-grid | |
|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Panels power your building during the day and work alongside the EDTL grid. | Panels charge a battery bank while also working with the grid. | Panels and batteries supply all your power, with no grid connection. |
| Power during outages | No — switches off with the grid for safety | Yes — selected circuits keep running from the battery | Yes — fully independent |
| Battery storage | Not required | Included | Included |
| Best for | Lowering daytime electricity bills | Homes and facilities with frequent outages or night-time needs | Remote sites the grid does not reach |

Where we work
Across Timor-Leste
We work in Dili and across the municipalities, including islands and remote areas. Our experience covers homes, schools, clinics, community facilities and infrastructure in challenging environments where grid conditions, logistics and climate demand practical engineering.

Islands & remote areas
Atauro, Lautém, Ermera and other hard-to-reach locations.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you install solar panels in Dili?
Yes. We install residential and commercial solar systems in Dili and work across the municipalities, including islands and remote areas such as Ataúro, Ermera, Liquiçá, Viqueque and Lautém.
What is the difference between grid-tied, hybrid and off-grid solar?
A grid-tied system works alongside the EDTL grid to lower your daytime bills. A hybrid system adds battery storage so essential loads keep running during outages and at night. An off-grid system supplies all your power where there is no grid connection.
Can solar keep my power on during blackouts?
Yes, with a hybrid system. The battery takes over automatically when the grid fails and supplies the circuits you choose. A grid-tied system without a battery switches off with the grid for safety.
Do you work with NGOs, government and development partners?
Yes. Alongside installations, we provide field surveys, site verification, local coordination and technical data collection for consultants, donors and government partners.
