About Munyax Eco
Solar With Soul.
A women led solar company founded in Rwanda in 2013, advancing clean, affordable and smart energy across Africa.
Who we are
Powered by People, Not Just Panels
Munyax Eco is a women led clean energy company based in Rwanda, turning rooftops into power since 2013. We're a team built on different backgrounds and perspectives, 60% women across engineering, sales, operations, and leadership, because the best solutions come from people who see problems differently. And we measure ourselves by what happens after the sale: every system comes with 7–10 year warranty coverage and local after-sales support, because we're not done with a customer once the panels are up. Thirteen years and 5,000+ installations later, that's who we are.
