About M-KOPA Solar ¶
M-KOPA Solar, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, has connected over 200,000 homes in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda to solar power since its commercial launch in October 2012. The company adds over 500 new homes to solar power each day.
The success of M-KOPA 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.
