In the advent of Namibia's independence Solar Age has been founded in March 1989. Making Namibia more independent of imported fuel supplies and bringing modern energy services to the remote areas of this vast country has been the driving idea behind the foundation of the company. Conrad Roedern, an Electrical Engineer from Germany knew about the abundant potential of alternative energy resources and saw the need to utilise them.
 
 
From ""day one"" the company focused on development, design and sales of high-tech Solar Energy Solutions adapted to the various rural, urban, institutional, governmental & commercial customers.
 
To provide optimised solutions and ensure high quality products, Solar Age Namibia is liaising with, and exchanging information on an ongoing basis with research institutions, governmental & non-governmental institutions and other stakeholders in the alternative energy industry.
 
From "day one" the company has steadily grown. Today there is a trained team of twelve very dedicated and qualified people representing all cultures of the Namibian Society. The affairs at Solar Age are run by a management team, consisting of Helvi Ileka, Marco Simoni and Conrad Roedern.
