The project scaled Redavia’s “pay-as-you go” industrial solar power service to other remote businesses, particularly into the food processing sector. The project was designed to overcome the barriers of high up-front costs and long off take agreements by offering SMEs a standard, modular, and redeployable solar farm on a flexible, pre-financed rental basis. This scaling leveraged Redavia’s existing commercial, technology, and financing platforms. Target food processing sub-segments were coffee, tea, oilseeds and cashews, which suffer from frequent (up to 25% of the time) power outages and/or high-cost diesel-generator power. The power was expected to empower rural women particularly through mechanisation of food processing and creating higher value jobs.
