About us

Traditional solar thermal systems weren’t designed for the Gulf — SolarisKit was.

Our flat-packed, prismatic collectors are designed to perform efficiently in extreme heat, resist hard water corrosion, and blend seamlessly with modern rooftops.

From residences to hotels, SolarisKit offers a reliable, space-saving, and sustainable hot water solution — built for the region’s needs.

Vision

Our vision is a world where the potential of solar energy to meet global heating demand is finally unlocked, benefitting people and the planet.

Mission

At SolarisKit, our mission is to make affordable clean heat accessible to everyone.

By harnessing the energy of the sun, we’re providing a cleaner, smarter, and more affordable way to heat water — improving quality of life while reducing environmental impact.

Our Story

At SolarisKit, we believe every building has the potential to harness the sun — not just for electricity, but for clean, efficient heat.

Our story began in 2019, when Dr Faisal Ghani, then a university academic in Edinburgh, learned that families in Kigali, Rwanda were spending up to 40 percent of their income on energy, much of it for water heating. As a mechanical engineer with nearly two decades of experience in solar thermal design, he saw an opportunity to rethink how solar heat could be delivered — simpler to install, lower in cost, and better suited for real-world use.

That vision led to the creation of the HelioFlow™ solar collector — the world’s first flat-packed solar thermal collector, engineered to deliver high performance while reducing embodied carbon and shipping volume by up to 80%. Designed for modern buildings and especially for flat-roof environments, HelioFlow provides a practical and aesthetically clean alternative to conventional solar water heating systems.

Since launching, SolarisKit has deployed its technology across Africa, North America, and Asia, and now proudly manufactures in the UAE, combining British innovation with local expertise. In 2024, SolarisKit won the Ras Al Khaimah Energy Innovation Competition, and in 2025 joined the Hub71 ClimateTech cohort in Abu Dhabi — milestones that reinforce our mission to help the built environment transition toward net zero.

Today, SolarisKit partners with property developers, ESCOs, and green building consultants to integrate solar thermal technology that is scalable, sustainable, and ready for the Gulf climate. Together, we are unlocking the potential of solar energy — making buildings greener, more efficient, and ready for a low-carbon future.
