Solar panel powering a rural household
Overview

For millions of households across Kenya's rural and underserved areas, grid electricity remains years away or prohibitively expensive to connect to. That leaves families relying on kerosene lamps, candles, or costly diesel generators β€” options that are expensive over time, unsafe, and limit what a household can do after dark. Solar home kits change that equation directly, delivering safe, reliable lighting and power without waiting for grid infrastructure that may never arrive.

We deploy solar home kits sized for real household needs β€” lighting, phone charging, radio, and small appliances β€” financed through a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) model that makes clean energy genuinely accessible rather than a large upfront cost few families can afford. Payments are made via M-PESA from as little as KSh 500 per month, meaning a family can start benefiting from reliable power immediately while paying it off in amounts that fit their income.

What's Included

  • A solar home kit sized to the household's actual lighting and power needs
  • Flexible pay-as-you-go financing via M-PESA, from KSh 500 per month
  • Installation and basic usage training for household members
  • A support line for troubleshooting and maintenance questions
  • Warranty coverage on system components
  • A clear path to full ownership once the PAYG plan is complete

Our Process

1
Household Assessment
We assess the household's power needs β€” lighting, charging, appliances β€” to recommend the right kit size.
2
PAYG Plan Setup
We set up an M-PESA-based payment plan sized to what the household can comfortably afford monthly.
3
Installation
The solar kit is installed at the home with a walkthrough of safe day-to-day use.
4
Ongoing Support
Households have access to support for maintenance questions throughout the PAYG period and beyond.

Who This Is For

  • Rural and off-grid households currently relying on kerosene or candles
  • Families wanting reliable phone charging and lighting without high upfront cost
  • Community organisations and cooperatives coordinating household electrification
  • County governments running rural energy access programmes
  • Development agencies funding off-grid energy access initiatives

Why DollarEdge

  • M-PESA-based payments β€” no need for bank accounts or complex financing
  • A certified Green Energy for All (GE4A) partner with a track record across Kenya
