Foundation for the peoples of the South Pacific, USAID
Following the company formation in 1984, KGES principally known as SEC became the First sales-oriented business in Kiribati that sold solar PV systems. It acts as a retail outlet for solar PV systems and provide technical assistance where needed for installation and maintenance. 270 PV lighting systems were sold to private customers throughout rural Kiribati. Additional sales of larger systems were made to schools and government agencies
