Across Africa, millions are no longer waiting for the grid to show up.
Off-grid power is stepping in, bold and bright, changing lives and supercharging economies.
No more darkness, just opportunity.
Here are five off-grid power projects lighting up the continent:
— SolarNow, Uganda: Affordable solar systems for homes and businesses. Payments are flexible, impact is massive. From small shops to entire villages, SolarNow is powering dreams.
— BBOXX, Rwanda: Smart solar boxes that do more than provide power. They track usage, predict needs, and bring reliable electricity to places the grid forgot.
— M-KOPA, Kenya: Pay-as-you-go solar that’s simple, scalable, and changing lives daily. Over a million homes are now connected, and counting.
— ZOLA Electric, Tanzania: They don’t just sell solar, they deliver energy independence. Smart solutions, reliable power, and zero headaches.
— Mobisol, multiple countries: Large solar home systems with built-in financing. Schools, farms, businesses, all powered without touching the grid.
The truth? These projects aren’t just lighting up homes, they’re lighting up futures.
In a continent that refuses to wait, off-grid power is leading the charge, and those betting on it are set to win big.
