Problem
With the availability of numerous cost-efficient solar technologies, why are 1 billion micro-enterprises in emerging markets still burning fossil fuels? The reason is that distributors do not have the necessary technologies to offer flexible payment options making it very difficult for micro-enterprises to purchase existing solar products.
SOLUTION
Using MbeguSolar’s platform, distributors in emerging markets can implement credit sale technologies, which enables them to sell existing solar products with flexible payment options.
KEY CUSTOMERS AND INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
MbeguSolar is currently targeting last mile distributors (B2B customers), located in East Africa.
Team
The passionate team behind MbeguSolar is made up by a multitude of profiles and competencies, including business model innovation in emerging markets, platform technology design, and many more.
Unique selling point
MbeguSolar is the first technology platform designed for B2B partnerships from day one in off-grid solar space. Unlike other solar companies, MbeguSolar does not produce hardware products but instead focuses on collaborating with and assisting existing hardware providers.
Asia Connection
MbeguSolar collaborates with hardware providers from around the globe, including stakeholders with strong ties to Asian suppliers and manufacturers.
MbeguSolar’s founder Yang is originally from China, and has worked and lived in China, Kenya and Europe. She started the company with a global vision and has built a team with people she met along this journey with diverse backgrounds.
MbeguSolar is looking for pre-seed investors who are able to appreciate the vision of the company; making life-changing product services accessible and affordable to people in emerging markets all over the globe.
