Looking for a solar water heater manufacturer for the Zambia 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.
Zambia’s energy crisis has turned solar water heating from an option into a necessity:
Our range covers the full spectrum that Zambia 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. Zambia is landlocked: containers typically route by sea to Durban (South Africa) or Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), then overland to Lusaka and the Copperbelt — the routing choice is usually a freight-cost decision your forwarder makes. We prepare commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading and product documentation to support ZRA clearance and zero-rating 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.
More than almost anywhere — during the 2024–2025 load shedding, many Zambian homes and businesses went without grid power for most of the day. Water heating on a generator is expensive; a solar water heater works through outages and pays back quickly.
Non-pressurized systems win on price for family homes and worker housing; 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 mines, 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 Durban or Dar es Salaam and overland transport to Lusaka. 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.
Solar water heaters (HS 8419.12) have attracted low customs duty (0–5%) and 0% VAT — solar equipment has been zero-rated since SI 104 of 2021, with duty suspension on solar equipment extended to 2027. Rates can change, so we recommend confirming the current HS classification with the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) or your clearing agent — we provide full product documentation to support it.
