In Sub-Saharan Africa, 600m people still lack access to electricity and many more are connected to unreliable grids. Simultaneously, prices for solar energy and storage have fallen by more than 80% since the 2000s. To unlock this market potential of USD 65 bn, we set up a B2B2C model, supplying our local distribution partners with high-quality solar products combined with financing solutions for our end-customers, who are off-grid or under-electrified households and SMEs.

Key to scale is our software platform: It digitizes our operations, tracking products and collecting payment, which results in data-driven decisions. By collecting valuable end users' data, we are able to develop credit profiles and rating schemes of our end users to mitigate default risk.

Thanks to our successful raise of €490k on Crowdcube in early 2020, we were able to realise projects and boost our sales.

- Increased total funds raised to €3m
