Green Scene Energy delivers professional solar energy training and capacity building across Ethiopia, transferring a decade of hands-on engineering and installation experience to the next generation of clean energy professionals. Our trainers are the same engineers who design and build our mini-grids, hospital systems and solar water pumps, so every course is grounded in real projects, not slides.
The engineers who build Ethiopia’s mini-grids are the ones at the front of the classroom.
