Solar Home Systems (SHS) on a Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) model provide a transformative and scalable solution for electrifying rural and off-grid communities, especially sub Saharan Africa where grid access remains a challenge. Our solution eliminates the high upfront costs of traditional solar installations by allowing households to pay for solar energy in small, manageable installments over time using mobile money or digital payment platforms. Our Integrated remote monitoring using IoT technology allows service providers to track system performance and enforce payments, ensuring continuous access while minimizing operational costs. The PAYGO model has numerous advantages, including making solar energy more affordable, reducing reliance on kerosene and diesel generators, and improving health by eliminating indoor air pollution. It also stimulates economic activities by enabling home-based businesses and phone charging enterprises.
