Pay-As-You-Go Solar Solutions for Off-Grid Electricity
The sheer area of land that populations are dispersed across in Africa is one big hurdle which electrification must scale. The other, unsurprisingly, is money. As much discussion at the recent Solar Off-grid Summit showed, off-grid or mini-grid systems are an excellent way to help the process of electrification in rural communities. Support in government policy is growing for these solutions, spurred by successes in Kenya and Tanzania. There is still a long way to go, but with new ideas developing all the time, the path to widespread electrification is becoming easier.
Building a mini-grid system
The rise of pay-as-you-go (PAYG) systems as a method to make off-grid systems accessible is one such method. Around twenty companies serving nearly half a million people in Eastern Africa currently provide this service. A solar-powered kit including the panel, battery, four or six lights, and a phone charger - and sometimes other appliances - is bought by the customer in installments, rather than a one-off lump sum. Depending on the scheme, the customer may have options to expand their mini-grid with further PV panels, charging points, and appliances. This support of power demands over a customer's lifetime can help to open many doors: efficient cooking stoves to help daily life, smartphones to aid connectivity and business opportunities.
Costs and payment plans
The costs are calculated to be competitive with other forms of electricity generation, such as diesel or kerosene generators and battery-powered torches, to make the plan more attractive and provide savings straight away. Payments can be made in a variety of ways depending on the scheme, but include mobile phone credit, and scratch cards. Many schemes also allow one-off top-up payments against the balance, which is useful for those with irregular income streams.
The flexibility in the payment plan means that the scheme is much more accessible for rural communities, who often have lower and more irregular income sources. Technical DataPay As You Go Solar Lighting Kits |
