The successful pilot of Pay as You Go Solar Home Systems in the Nyanza, Eldoret and Bomet Regions of Kenya reached 3,000 customers and encouraged credit payment terms by customers with very limited default rates. The aim of this project was to scale up operations by deploying 6000 Solar Home System units in the Ukambani Region of Kenya by utilising the distribution, technical and call centre structures put in place.

Outcome and Impact

The project installed 3551 Quad Solar Home Systems which generate 32,4 MW hours renewable energy generated per year. 271 jobs created, of which 247 are agents in the field, and 24 are call center representatives based in Nairobi. Estimated annual reduction of tons of CO2eq is 10,648,880 (annual) or 53,244,000 over five years.
