Looking for a solar water heater manufacturer for the Uganda market? iW Solar has been producing solar water heaters since 2013 — 50L to 600L, non-pressurized and high-pressure, vacuum tube and flat plate — for importers, wholesalers and project contractors across 30+ countries. MOQ from 1 set, delivery in 18–25 working days, and a 3-year warranty on every unit.
Uganda pairs equatorial sunshine with one of Africa’s friendliest import regimes for solar water heating:
Our range covers the full spectrum that Uganda distributors, installers and project contractors source:

The most economical route to hot water, ideal for family homes, rental housing and price-sensitive wholesale. Simple structure, easy installation, minimal maintenance. See the non-pressurized solar water heater series and the low-pressure solar collector components.
For buyers who want strong, mains-pressure hot water. Available as integrative high-pressure solar water heaters (tank + collector in one unit) or split high-pressure systems with the tank installed inside the ceiling or utility room.
Durable, low-profile and easy to maintain. We offer flat plate solar collectors for split installations and integrative flat panel solar water heaters as complete compact units — a common specification for gated estates, guesthouses and commercial buildings.
For hotels, lodges, hospitals, boarding schools and industrial pre-heating, heat pipe solar collectors and solar vacuum tubes can be arrayed to any project size. See how the two collector types compare in our heat pipe vs U-pipe collector guide.
Source every part of the system from one factory: pressurized solar water tanks, solar water heater brackets engineered for different roof types, and copper coil solar water heaters for indirect heating. One container, one supplier, one quality standard.
Whether you are a wholesaler building your own brand or a contractor specifying for a project:
We export from China to destinations in 30+ countries. Uganda is landlocked: containers route by sea to Mombasa (Kenya), then overland on the Northern Corridor to Kampala — the standard East African route our Kenyan customers use every month. We prepare commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading and product documentation to support URA clearance and the EAC duty/VAT exemption claims. Compact units are loaded fully assembled; split systems and collectors are flat-packed for maximum container utilization. Read more about shipping and delivery and standard export packaging.
Yes — twice over. Uganda’s electricity tariffs are among East Africa’s highest, and solar water heaters enter the country duty- and VAT-free, so the landed cost is lower than in most neighboring markets. The system keeps producing for 15–20 years.
Non-pressurized systems win on price for family homes and rental units; high-pressure systems suit modern apartments and offices; flat plate collectors are the durable choice for estates and commercial buildings; heat pipe collectors scale best for lodges, hospitals and schools. See our full guide: types of solar water heaters compared.
MOQ starts from 1 set for trial orders. Production takes 18–25 working days after order confirmation, then sea freight to Mombasa and overland transport to Kampala. We confirm a container loading plan with you before production starts.
Yes — 100% OEM/ODM. Your logo on the tank, your labels, your packaging design. Many of our 100+ customers sell under their own brands.
Yes. Tanks, collectors, brackets and complete units can be mixed in one container — the most common way our East African customers ship.
