YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn Tanzania, between 80-90% of the country lacks access to electricity. Most families living in rural off-grid areas use dim kerosene lamps to light their homes at night. Burning fuel inside pollutes the air with harmful particles, which can irritate the eyes and lungs, and puts children at risk of accidentally burning themselves.
Off Grid Electric (OGE) is a ground-breaking company based in San Francisco and Arusha, Tanzania, with the ambitious aim of powering off-grid homes across Africa with affordable, renewable energy. OGE currently provides solar systems to homes and businesses in rural communities through an innovative financial solution.
It offers “solar as a service” to customers who suffer from an expensive grid, an unreliable grid, or have no grid access at all.

In this short video, we speak to Bill Lenihan, Off Grid Electric's President and CFO, to learn more.
