Solar energy has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s cheapest, cleanest, and most practical sources of electricity.
With Positive Zero’s Generation arm SirajPower, you can harness our region’s year-round sunshine and benefit from our flexible solar agreements of up to 20 years of clean, low-cost energy. From rooftop arrays for C&I facilities to hybrid off-grid systems that replace diesel generators, we create effective solar energy solutions for every application.

For many organizations, energy accounts for around 30% of the total operating budget.
Positive Zero’s Efficiency arm Taka Solutions gives you access to the latest smart technologies and equipment upgrades without any capital investment through our Efficiency-as-a-service packages. Instead, your projects are funded by their future cost savings, giving you a risk-free path to enhancing your building’s performance and efficiency by up to 50%.
CLEAN MOBILITY
Positive Zero’s Mobility end-to-end solutions help our clients build a platform for a clean energy future by supporting them with charging infrastructure upgrades, fleet electrification and mobile power.
Hypr Energy, a Positive Zero product under its Mobility vertical, is the first clean energy on-demand solution that was introduced in the region in 2022. It offers a mobile, eco-friendly, and cost-effective answer to places where there is no power such as construction sites and other off-grid locations, including electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
