2:04Now PlayingGlobally, more than 1.2 billion people do not have access to electricity in their homes. As a result, they are forced to burn expensive and polluting fuels for their basic lighting needs. In Sub‐Saharan Africa, many people burn kerosene as fuel for lighting. Burning kerosene causes harmful indoor air pollution and emits greenhouse gas emissions fuelling climate change. Azuri PayGo Energy has combined solar and mobile phone technology to bring clean energy to people living in Sub‐Saharan Africa. The pay‐as‐you‐go solar home system provides eight hours of emission‐free lighting each day and enough power to charge mobile phones. After paying a small one‐time installation fee, the user then purchases a scratch card, or uses an integrated mobile money service to top‐up their unit. The Azuri system cuts weekly energy spending by up to 50%, which means people start saving money and reducing emissions immediately.
