Our Story
At DisGen, we believe every business deserves to have the opportunity to access clean, affordable solar energy—without the usual barriers or complexities. We’re passionate about making solar accessible to businesses, empowering them to reduce their emissions and create a broader positive impact.
Our journey began with a simple mission: to remove the obstacles that often prevent businesses from adopting solar power. That’s why we created our Managed Solar Solution—a fully managed, hassle-free service that makes clean energy simple, cost-effective, and accessible. By handling everything from installation to maintenance, we ensure businesses can seamlessly transition to solar with confidence.
At the heart of DisGen is our belief in balance, inspired by the principles of the golden ratio. Just as this timeless concept represents harmony and proportion in nature, we’ve built our business on creating a win-win-win-win outcome: for businesses, their communities, the environment, and DisGen. Our goal is to bring financial savings, operational ease, and sustainability together in perfect alignment.
For us, it’s more than just installing solar systems; it’s about building lasting partnerships based on trust, transparency, and shared values. Together, we’re paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future where clean energy is within reach for everyone.

What is DisGen's Managed Solar Solution?
Not Your Traditional Solar Energy Model!
DisGen’s Managed Solar Solution is a fully integrated, end-to-end service designed to simplify your transition to solar energy while maximising savings. We handle everything—from system design and installation to ongoing maintenance and compliance—all at no cost to you.
Our consultative approach ensures additional value: our experts shop around for the best deals on non-solar energy costs, further reducing your operational expenses. With DisGen, businesses pay only for the solar energy they use at rates significantly lower than traditional grid tariffs—saving up to 30–40% off the total grid tariff.
This seamless solution helps businesses lower overheads, align with sustainability goals, and focus on their core operations, while we handle the rest.
No Investment! Just Savings and Sustainable Energy!
