Who We Are

The Market
SunPoynt is disrupting the problems of energy access, helping accelerate access to news, information and education as well as eliminating kerosene use and enabling technology deployment in emerging markets.
- In East Africa, mobile phone penetration is almost ubiquitous
- 5 million households in Kenya lack access to electricity and spend $15-35 a year on phone charging.
- 25million people lack access to power which represents ~$500m/year spend on kerosene for lighting.
- This represents a huge commercial opportunity ~$500m/year
Solar power is an obvious alternative to kerosene, candles or disposable batteries which, light-for-light, cost over 100x the price of the equivalent energy in the developed world and can represent as much as 30% of the net income of rural households.
