Momentum Metropolitan Namibia has officially launched a rooftop solar installation at its head office in Windhoek, marking a significant step towards renewable energy adoption and corporate sustainability.
The 107.67 kWp grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) system, which was unveiled this week, is expected to generate more than 200,000 kWh of electricity annually.
The project, according to the company, was developed through a collaboration between the company’s Properties Department and local solar energy experts.
“The sun on our national flag is more than a symbol – it is a reminder of the hope, warmth and promise that binds us as Namibians.By drawing energy from that very source, we are not only powering our buildings, but also fuelling a vision of a brighter, more sustainable future for all. This moment is a proud reflection of who we are and what we stand for ,” said Momentum Metropolitan Namibia CEO Sakaria Nghikembua at the launch.
The solar system, according to the insurance company, is expected to reduce the company’s reliance on grid electricity and cut its carbon emissions, aligning with broader efforts to improve energy efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Theo van Rooyen, Properties Manager at Momentum Metropolitan Namibia, said the project was the result of strategic planning and long-term thinking.
“This project is the result of careful planning, collaboration, and a shared vision for a greener tomorrow. By investing in solar infrastructure, we are not only improving energy efficiency but also contributing to a future-proof and environmentally responsible business. It’s a proud moment for our team to see this vision come to life,” he said.
The solar system, according to Momentum Metropolitan Namibia, features high-efficiency panels and inverters designed to maximise output while requiring minimal maintenance, offering protection against future energy cost increases.
Namibia receives over 3,000 hours of sunshine annually and is recognised for having some of the highest levels of solar radiation in the world, with Momentum Metropolitan Namibia tapping into what the International Energy Agency has called the world’s fastest-growing source of power.
