About SolarWorX
Solarworx is a Berlin-based Energy startup that develops smart solar solutions for rural off-grid households in Africa. We develop second generation, highly innovative off-grid products like modular Solar Home and Business Systems and distribute them via local partners. However, we are also involved in pico and mini grid projects, as we believe only a mix of those products can be a true solution for the electification problem of 1.2 billion people living off the grid globally depending on fossil fuels. The intrinsic motivation of SolarWorX is to enable rural customers to become productive in a threefold aproach. Productivity by selling SolarWorX units, Productivity by owning a SolarWorX product and using it to be productive and generate income, Productivity by manufacturing SolarWorX products locally. This way we believe is the only to reach true economic and ecological sustainability.
