is the global leader of pay-as-you-go energy for off-grid customers. Since its
commercial launch in October 2012, M-KOPA has connected more than 200,000 homes
in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to solar power, and is now adding over 500 new
homes each day. The success of M-KOPA (M= mobile, KOPA= to borrow) stems from
making solar products affordable to low-income households on a pay-per-use

traditional kerosene lighting. After one year of payments customers own their
solar systems outright and can upgrade to more power.
