Pan Africa Solar, an investor in the renewable energy sector has launched a commercial solar home system to be distributed by its new section, PAS BBOXX Limited.
A statement by its director, Jim Howlett said Pas Bboxx has already commenced operation with its first branch in Kano, the second largest city in Nigeria.
The project which has partial funding from UK aid from the British government helped developed a plug-and-pay device targeted to low-income households.
It said the system is available through a monthly payment plan. “The system comprises a single 50 watts (w) solar panel and a battery unit that can power LED bulbs, charge mobile phones, rechargeable torches and radios. These accessories, designed to plug directly into the PAS BBOXX power unit, will give customers a choice of offerings depending on their budget,” it said.
Equally, the CEO of BBOXX, the project partner, Mansoor Hamayun said, “PAS BBOXX is an excellent solution for low-income households that currently rely on kerosene, candles and torches to light their homes.
