M-Kopa Solar has launched a solar-powered refrigerator that will be targeting off-grid homes and businesses.
The mobile phone-based solar kit reseller will be stocking the 100-litre solar fridge to cut losses incurred by homes and enterprises unable to preserve perishables and also reduce their trips to the market.
The refrigerator is now available on all its 65 retail outlets where customers will be required to pay Sh165 per day for 700 days, bringing the total cost to Sh115,500.
“We are thrilled about the positive impact that solar-powered fridges can have on customers’ lives, particularly women. A fridge saves precious money and time at home, and helps small entrepreneurs grow their businesses,” M-Kopa’s chief executive Jesse Moore said in a statement.
“After months of hard work by our team and partners Embraco Nidec, it is so rewarding to see this award-winning product begin to upgrade lives across East Africa.”
