What are off-grid solar products and what can they do?

Off-grid solar lanterns and SHS get their energy from the sun. They offer a wide range of services ranging from a single task light to solar home systems (SHS), some of which can even power a TV or a fan.

Solar products provide a better, safer light than conventionally used off-grid alternatives. The up-front cost of purchasing a solar lantern is typically recouped in a matter of months through savings that would otherwise be spent on kerosene, batteries, or candles. SHS often have pay-as-you go (PAYG) options, enabling you to pay for their energy services over time.
