Solar Energy Engineer

MG is a small group of engineers with expertise in the fields of energy, particularly solar energy, and environmental sciences. We are committed to merging these two fields with education and innovation. Our goal is to help communities move towards a sustainable future. We aim to establish our start-up and provide dependable consultancy services in the field of renewable energy.

Past Projects: MG has worked on several projects in solar energy around the world including India, Sweden and Mozambique. MG designed a solar laboratory, which can serve as powerful learning tool for students as well as for research. Additionally, MG is preparing a platform to act as a bridge to transport knowledge gained from these solar laboratories into cooperation between the schools and colleges in Europe, Africa and Asia. Apart from projects, our team has also given small courses in solar energy at Uppsala and Lund universities. We have also done consultancy work for solar companies.
