Sustainable developement goals
A B2B2C platform supplying and financing small-scale solar infrastructure in emerging markets
Visit siteThe need
In Sub-Saharan Africa 500+ million people live without access to electricity and millions suffer from unreliable grid connections. Many rely on costly, polluting diesel generators, but limited access to financing prevents businesses and households from adopting sustainable alternatives.
The solution
MPower is building the leading clean energy platform for Africa, combining high-quality solar hardware, inclusive financing solutions, and proprietary software. Through a scalable B2B2C partnership model, we work with local distributors, solar installers, and financial institutions to deliver affordable solar systems, e-mobility, and energy-efficient appliances. Our software digitizes operations, enables remote monitoring, driving both financial inclusion and energy access.
The value proposition
- Clean Energy: Reliable, efficient solar systems and appliances tailored for Commercial & Industrial (C&I) clients, SMEs, and households
- Access to Financing: Flexible financing for distributors and end-users, reducing working capital needs and making clean energy affordable
- Software & Data: An in-house developed, fully digital platform that tracks and digitises all operations and leverages data to improve financial inclusion of our end-users
