Powering a Greener Zambia
Maktub Engineering is committed to driving sustainable national development through high-efficiency solar photovoltaic installations, eco-conscious construction methods, and community green-earth initiatives.
Harnessing the Power of the Sun
Zambia receives over 3,000 hours of peak sunlight per year — one of the richest renewable solar resources in Africa. Maktub Engineering engineers, supplies, and commissions turnkey solar installations.
Residential Solar Systems
Off-grid and grid-tied rooftop setups from 2kW starter kits to 20kW+ full-home battery-backed backup arrays, eliminating load-shedding headaches.
Commercial & Industrial Solar
High-capacity solar arrays for factories, mining camps, corporate warehouses, schools, and hospitals with dramatic operational electricity cost reductions.
Solar Water Pumping & Irrigation
Solar-powered borehole and agricultural pumping systems for farms, irrigation schemes, and rural community water points across Zambia.
Green Earth Programmes
Beyond solar installations, Maktub integrates eco-conscious practices across every civil and supply project.
Turnkey Solar Engineering
Complete design, load sizing, procurement of Tier-1 solar modules and lithium battery banks, certified installation, and 24/7 remote monitoring.

Waste Reduction & Recycling
Structured site waste management: segregation of construction debris, aggregate crushing for re-use, and full compliance with ZEMA regulations.
- On-site debris segregation
- Concrete & steel recycling
- Zero hazardous runoff guarantees
From Idea to Clean Impact
Our proven 4-stage engineering methodology guarantees seamless deployment and high yield.
Site Assessment
Comprehensive solar irradiance audit, load profiling, roof structure inspection, and grid availability analysis.
Design & Sizing
Electrical schematic design, equipment selection (panels, inverters, storage), and duty clearance procurement.
Certified Installation
Installation by certified technicians adhering to IEC standards and ZESCO grid connection protocols.
Monitor & Maintain
Real-time dashboard monitoring, preventative inspections, and emergency maintenance support.
Our Environmental Pledges
Sustainability is not an afterthought — it is embedded in how we plan, construct, and procure.
Tree Planting Initiative
For every major civil project completed, Maktub plants trees in surrounding communities. Our target is 5,000 native trees by 2027 to restore canopies, prevent soil erosion, and offset carbon in Lusaka and Muchinga.
Solar-First Site Camps
All Maktub contractor site offices and base camps are powered by standalone solar systems, drastically cutting noisy, polluting diesel generator runs during project execution.
Water Harvesting & Conservation
Rainwater harvesting systems are built into new building designs wherever feasible. On-site dust suppression utilizes recycled wastewater in full compliance with ZEMA standards.
Sustainable Procurement
We evaluate our material suppliers on environmental credentials — sourcing timber exclusively from certified sustainable forestry and opting for low-embodied carbon alternatives.
