Angaza Pay-As-You-Go Solar Platform

The Challenge

Millions of households across Africa lack access to reliable electricity, forcing them to rely on expensive and harmful kerosene lamps. Traditional solar systems cost hundreds of dollars upfront—an impossible barrier for families earning less than $10 per day. The challenge was creating a financing mechanism that makes clean energy accessible while ensuring sustainable business operations.

Angaza needed a robust platform to manage thousands of solar devices, process micro-payments through mobile money, remotely monitor energy usage, and provide real-time analytics to distributors across multiple African markets.

Key Features

• Smart metering and remote device control with real-time monitoring
• Mobile money integration supporting M-Pesa and other African payment platforms
• Flexible payment plans with automated reminders and grace periods
• Distributor dashboard with inventory management and sales analytics
• Customer portal for payment history and energy usage tracking
• Multi-market support with localized currencies and languages

Results & Impact

Since launch, Angaza has enabled over 4.5 million deliveries and powered hundreds of thousands of homes across Africa. The platform has processed millions in micro-payments, with a 95% on-time payment rate. Major corporate clients including KFC, Diageo, and EABL now use the platform for their logistics needs.

The company raised $13.5 million in Series B funding and won the 'Most Preferred Pay-As-You-Go Solar' award. Most importantly, families now have access to clean, affordable energy—replacing dangerous kerosene lamps and enabling children to study after dark.
