Problem: Nigeria’s electricity demand is estimated at 24,380 MW, however, it is only able to dispatch around 4,000 MW (USAID). Presently, 76million Nigerians or 40.7% of the Nigerian population are not connected to the national power grid. As a result, Nigerians self-generate a significant portion of their electricity with highly polluting off-grid alternatives and at a cost that is more than twice the cost of grid-based power which pose a devastating impact on health and environment that binds vulnerable communities to a life of grinding poverty.

Unique Selling Point: Initial cost of setting up solar equipment is unaffordable for Nigerians especially the underserved communities. We make our products mostly from recycled materials making our products (Solar power generators) cheaper, affordable and more efficient, removing waste from the environment and empowering youths as waste collectors in the process.
