3 Deputy Service Centre Manager Career Opportunities – M-KOPA Solar Ltd

Organization: M-KOPA Solar Ltd
Duty Station:  Northern, Uganda
Reports to: Service Centre Manager
About M-KOPA Ltd:
M-KOPA
Solar, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, is the global leader of “pay-as-you-go”
energy for off-grid customers.  Since its
commercial launch in October 2012, M-KOPA has connected more than 150,000 homes
in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania to solar power, and is now adding over 600 new homes
each day. The success of M-KOPA (M= mobile, KOPA= to borrow) stems from making
solar products affordable to low-income households on a pay-per-use installment
plan. Customers acquire solar systems for a small deposit and then purchase
daily usage “credits” for US $0.45, or less than the price of traditional
kerosene lighting.  After one year of
payments customers own their solar systems outright and can upgrade to more
power.  All revenues are collected in
real-time via mobile money systems (such as M-PESA in Kenya) and embedded GSM
sensors in each solar system allow M-KOPA to monitor real time performance and
regulate usage based upon payments.  This
connected design means that M-KOPA is processing vast amounts of data (i.e.
over 10,000 mobile payments per day) via the company’s proprietary cloud platform,
M-KOPAnet. M-KOPA has been recognized for its pioneering business mode and
scale, notably winning the 2015 Zayed Future Energy Prize, being selected as
the top New Energy Pioneer at the 2014 Bloomberg New Energy Finance awards and
earning the 2013 FT/IFC Excellence in Sustainable Finance Award.
