You already know us
We are the team behind Pool Solutions. Through ITRS International Ltd. we now bring seventeen years of European EPC work — 216 MWp installed — to solar and battery storage in Seychelles.
What the Government pays
Both pay a fixed amount for every kilowatt-peak installed. Most people on the islands know the schemes exist. Far fewer know the conditions — and the conditions are where projects are lost.
For individuals who own and occupy the property where the system is installed. An owner's house on its own PUC meter qualifies; a rental unit does not.
Approved by Cabinet on 15 April 2026. The detailed scheme rules have not yet been published; we will post them here when they are.
We prepare and submit the application with you. We do not decide it — the Energy Commission does.
The range
Every system is a Base Unit — inverter and battery in one cabinet — and Expansion Batteries added later without touching the inverter or the wiring. One system sits behind one PUC meter and supplies only that meter's circuit.
Storage figures are nominal capacity. The array a system can carry is set by its inverter, not by its battery — which is why the two small platforms take four panels and the Estate takes a roof.
What it costs
A system is not one product with one price. It is three parts, and only one of them comes in fixed steps.
A Base Unit, plus however many Expansion Batteries the property needs. Fixed price per item — this part comes in steps.
The number of panels, priced per kilowatt-peak installed. This part is continuous, which is why no fixed kit ever fits a real roof exactly.
Mounting, cabling, protection, commissioning and the PUC paperwork. Part fixed per system, part scaling with the array.
The sizing tool gives you a range. It is honest to within about fifteen per cent, and it is enough to know whether the project is worth a conversation. The exact figure follows the site survey, because these things cannot be seen from a web page:
Above the largest system we publish no range at all. A property that size needs parallel units, a distribution board and a conversation with PUC. We measure it rather than estimate it.
Find your size
Your monthly bill says how much electricity the property uses. It does not say when — and when is what decides whether you need a battery and how large it should be. The tool asks for both, then gives you a system, a range and the rebate that applies.
Why solar here
Few places combine this much irradiation with this much electricity cost. That combination, not a subsidy, is what makes the arithmetic work.
Four degrees south of the Equator. Tilt matters more than orientation, which simplifies almost every rooftop.
The commercial tariff. Every kilowatt-hour you generate yourself is a kilowatt-hour you do not buy.
Storage carries lighting, refrigeration, wifi and the reception desk through an outage. Guests never learn there was one.
Generation on the islands is heavily diesel-fired. Every locally produced kilowatt-hour is foreign exchange that stays here.
The grid
What your system generates is offset against what you draw. Generate less than you use and you pay the difference; generate more and PUC credits it. This is the mechanism that turns midday production into a smaller bill.
Domestic supplies may offset up to 100% of consumption. Commercial supplies above 10 kW may be sized to cover only 50%.
A zero-export system runs in parallel with the grid but never feeds into it. A current transformer at the connection point holds the inverter back so nothing leaves the property. Nothing is exported, so there is nothing for the network to absorb.
The Energy Commission has indicated to us verbally that a zero-export installation is treated like any other system, takes part in the support schemes, and is not subject to the 50% cap. We have asked for that in writing and will publish the answer here.
How it goes
Most small systems are commissioned three to four weeks after the order.
We walk the roof, read the meters, look at shading and at the distribution board, and establish how many PUC meters the property actually has.
System design per meter, components, price in SCR and EUR, expected production, and which rebate the property qualifies for.
We prepare and submit it. Claims must reach the Commission within six months of commissioning, and funds are allocated first-come, first-served.
We help with the paperwork for DBS, the SME scheme, SEEREP or MCB, and say plainly which one fits your case.
The application goes to the Energy Commission and on to PUC, which surveys the premises and the network before granting permission to connect.
Our team installs and commissions the system. Production is visible on your phone from the first day, and the warranty paperwork is handed over with the keys.
Who we are
ELSOL has been an EPC contractor for photovoltaic plants since 2008, across Bulgaria, Germany, Italy and Austria. In Seychelles we work through ITRS International Ltd. — the company behind the pool systems many establishments here already use.
ITRS International Ltd., registered and licensed in the Republic of Seychelles. Local presence, local support.
Installations follow the national electrical regulatory framework and the Commission's technical requirements for PV.
Around twenty-six companies have entered this market since 2009 and most did not last. A warranty is worth what the company behind it is worth.
Financing
The rebate reduces what the system costs. These reduce what it costs to pay for it.
Development Bank of Seychelles. Covers panels, inverters, batteries and installation. Explicitly available for PV at tourism establishments.
Government scheme through the commercial banks, for businesses with turnover under SCR 6M. Up to seven years at 5–7%.
Up to SCR 100,000 at 5%, one to five years. Residential customers only — it does not apply to a hotel or a guesthouse.
Green energy financing for MCB account holders, covering solar PV and other renewables.
Terms change. Confirm the current conditions with the institution before you commit — and take an accountant's view before signing anything.

The site assessment costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We come, we measure, and you get a proposal you can compare with anyone else's.
