SolarWave is a Swedish company producing solar powered water purification systems. SolarWave was founded in 2009 by Bengt Skörelid and Thomas Larsson. The company has its headquarters in Gävle and is represented internationally by its subsidiaries SolarWave Tanzania Limited in Tanzania and SolarWave Uganda Limited in Uganda, as well as by resellers in several African countries.
The company's product portfolio comprises water purification systems, desalination systems and solar power sets. Based on ultraviolet and reverse osmosis technologies, SolarWave's systems are suitable for use in remote and rural areas because it integrates solar power supply and requires no previous infrastructure. These systems also help serve private home owners needing small and reliable water treatment systems which are easy to operate and are environmentally friendly.
SolarWave is also a part of the United Nations approved Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project in Tanzania. The project provides safe drinking water to 10 remote villages in Tanzania and reduces CO emissions by replacing traditional water purification; boiling of water using firewood, with SolarWave's environmentally friendly technology.
