The Sun Farm

With it’s proximity to the equator and high level of solar radiation, Changoi was chosen to be the first farm to have a solar photovoltaic system installed. Currently the largest solar park in East Africa, Changoi’s factory is now powered entirely by renewable energy during the day making, for truly sustainable ‘solar tea’!
