What is Zidi Solar?

A solution that is All-In-One.

36% of Kenyans live in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL). Most of these people have no reliable electricity or stable bandwidth data connectivity. ZIDI Solar, through our highly affordable, online, Home- and Productive-Use devices (Charging Kiosk, MIFI, WIFI CPE, and Egg Incubator) allows the vulnerable to begin the transformation to intelligent, collaborative productivity.

Why Zidi?

Addressing Africa's lack of reliable power.

Africa is highly underdeveloped and needs to leapfrog the rest of the world in Sustainable, Affordable Energy for her citizens’ productive use – income generation. Product line cuts across a wide variety of consumer segments and price-points, catering for both Urban and Rural; across a multitude of use-cases.
Sub-Saharan Africa Electricity demand in 2040 is projected at between 0.75 and 1.50 Trillion kWh. 

At an approximated rate of USD 0.20 per kWh, this equates to a potential market size of USD 3 Trillion
