Affordability at Scale
There is strong demand for solar home systems (SHS) that are capable of
powering multiple lights, mobile charging, radio, fan, and TV.

Many potential customers spend more on kerosene and mobile charging


in a year than the total cost of an SHS, but do not have enough cash at one
time to afford the upfront cost of the SHS.

By allowing customers to pay in installments over a year or more, d.light is


able to break this affordability barrier. Unlike other products and services
on the market, d.light’s PayGo technology offers ultimate flexibility and
can support the following:

• Lease-to-own model with flexible term length d.light is the world’s leading
