Innovative Solar Kiosks for Energy Access

Clean – Affordable – Local

Help us to scale-up in Tanzanian villages

The Challenge

More than 1.2 billion people lack access to electricity. Most of these people live in developing countries and have limited resources. This not only makes it difficult to see at night but also restrains the possibilty of development.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, almost 90% of people own a phone but only 30% of them can charge it at home. That means, more than half of the population owns a phone but cannot charge it. This takes a tool on economic development as a phone is a form of access to information, education, etc.

While a few solutions already exist, they are not always tailored to the targeted community. Clean and affordable energy still does not exist.

Our Solution

We at hiLyte have developed a service which brings electricity and light to communities in rural Tanzania in a clean and affordable manner. Our solutions allow end-users to light up their houses and recharge their phones.

We focus on being user-centric. With regular field tests, we are continually improving our solutions to fit the lifestyle and requirements of our clients and end-users. To have constant interaction with our customers, we have formed a local team where we have provided jobs and trained Tanzanians.

Overall, our solutions are designed to bring clean and affordable electricity to rural communities, empowering its people.

Key Values



Clean

Our hiLyte cubes leverage on technologies that reduce at least 90% of the CO2 emissions. Definitely a step up from existing solutions such as kerosene lamps.



Affordable

People living in rural Africans can spend up to 30% of their income on light and phone charging. In Tanzania, villagers have to go to town to charge their phone at a kiosk. With a hiLyte cube, they can bring it home for multiple charges at a lower price!



Local

We believe the best way to support the local community is to educate and work with them. To achieve this, we train our Tanzanian staff to be autonomous, and we manufacture our devices directly in Tanzania.
