About US:
M-KOPA Solar Ltd is
the global leader of “pay-as-you-go” energy for off-grid customers. Since its

in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to solar power, and is now adding over 500 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. After one or two years of payments, customers own their solar
systems outright and can upgrade to more power.
