Customers transform their homes and lives the day they replace toxic kerosene lanterns or diesel generators with PAYG solar lighting and appliances.
In total, customers have replaced more than 1 million poor-form lanterns and generators with clean solar energy, resulting in children doubling study-hours at home and women benefitting the most from solar TVs, Fridges, and lights for everyday activities. Importantly, everyone can breathe easier and healthier without toxic fumes in homes.

Access to PAYG Solar has enabled millions of customers to cease emitting 2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide and black carbon into the environment. Moreover, customers’ e-waste recycling has, in turn, given a second life to refurbished phones and solar systems through circular economy principles – inviting over 60,000 more onto the PAYG pathway.
