    ZOLA Electric was founded in 2012 with a mission to make clean, reliable, affordable energy available to all.

Another billion people cannot rely on their electrical supply, with voltage spikes and long power outages disrupting their businesses and lives. ZOLA builds beautiful, reliable solar and storage power systems specifically designed to work where there is no access to grid electricity and with unreliable grids. These systems enable our customers to generate, store and manage their own 24-hour power supply, letting them become independent of unreliable power grids and dirty backup generators.
