In South Africa, at least 10% of the population is unlikely to be connected to the grid in the foreseeable future. The low load demand and dispersed nature of rural settlements and excessive and rising infrastructure costs mean that extending conventional electricity networks is not viable in many rural areas. At the same time, there is a need to improve health and safety with safer alternatives to paraffin, candles, and wood, which are widely used for heating and lighting in unelectrified communities. This is why we are developing products that will make a difference today and in the long run.
