Sphere Solar Energy

About us

Sphere Solar Energy is a Seattle based company that was started by Edwin Wanji in 2015. Edwin’s story is unique, and it explains why he is so attached to the work that Sphere Solar Energy performs.
As a child, Edwin grew up in Kenya. His mother’s job in law enforcement required the family to move every two years, and so Edwin was enrolled in numerous schools. His teachers changed regularly, as did his friends, but all the schools had one thing in common – unreliable sources of energy, which made it impossible at times to study during evening hours. Driven by this problem, Edwin taught himself how to power light bulbs from salvaged batteries, a skill that endeared him to new friends. These early experiences sparked a very personal passion.
