Small solar home systems bring good quality light and phone-charging to off-grid households and save them money. Yet their upfront costs render them out of reach for the people who would benefit most from them. UK-based startup Azuri has developed a pay-as-you-go interface which allows households to pay for solar power as they use it with scratchcards, making them affordable to those who need them.
It is early days but increasing numbers of homes in Kenya and elsewhere are now using Azuri's 'Indigo Duo' starter solar home systems which provide two lights and phone charging. Once they have paid for their starter system, Azuri's customers then have the opportunity to upgrade to larger systems, allowing them to progressively pay their way out of poverty.
