About US:
M-KOPA Solar is the global leader of “pay-as-you-go” systems. Since its commercial launch in October 2012, M-KOPA has connected more than 700,000 homes in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda to solar power. In January 2019, M-KOPA extended its pay-as-you-go solution to smartphones. The success of M-KOPA (M = mobile, KOPA = to borrow) stems from making products affordable to low-income households on a pay-per-use instalment plan. Customers acquire systems for a small deposit and then purchase daily usage “credits”. After regular payments, customers own their systems outright and can upgrade to more products.
