Testimonials
Younes Houch , Civil Engineer at EMSI
The impact of Solar TIGMI is that a solar energy source won’t just be felt in rural areas off the grid. They will change urban cities too. Energy is central to everything we do, this is why we thought to design and build a safe, smart, ecologic and economic house for each category of families in Africa.
Dr Mohamed Tabaa, Teacher and Director of the LPRI Laboratory at EMSI in Morocco
We wanted to design a house that can be built in any African country with good potential for solar energy. We also wanted to showcase traditional Moroccan and Tunisian architecture, which was born out of a long history of indigenous Berber architecture mixed with Islamic Arab influences.
