SolaFin2Go


Stage: Round 5

The SolaFin2Go initiative tackles the challenge of affordable standalone solar systems in sub-Saharan Africa, testing entry-level solutions with innovative photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies. Financed through enhanced PAYG models using Mobile, Cloud, and Blockchain tech, it adapts to community needs for basic electrification and hot water. Integrating partner technologies, it strives for a cost-effective standalone solar solution aligned with SE4All and Botswana’s plans. This integrates PV, battery storage, and solar thermal tech under a customer-centric platform, promising economic growth in rural areas and has significant potential to add to economic momentum in rural communities and to Transform Energy Access (TEA) for all.
