Published on October 13, 2019, M-Kopa's impact report highlights the company's commitment to sustainability by providing households with clean energy alternatives.

By replacing kerosene lanterns with solar-powered systems, M-Kopa helps households cut their spending on kerosene and phone charging, resulting in significant savings. According to the report, customers can save up to KSh 67,400 ($650) in five years.

The company's focus on climate action extends beyond clean energy, with a range of efficient appliances that deliver more energy while using less power. For instance, M-Kopa's solar-powered bulbs are 10% more luminous yet require 20% less energy.

As the company continues to innovate, it invests in research and development, collaborating with top hardware designers like Phillips to create products that set industry standards. As M-Kopa's CEO notes, "We invest in R&D and product co-development with best-in-class hardware designers such as Phillips. This has ushered in a new generation of products that deliver more energy services with less power, setting important industry standards as the sector expands globally."

With its commitment to sustainability and innovation, M-Kopa is poised to make a significant impact in the fight against climate change.
