Prototype charging stations
Exciting times in Zambia where the team have designed and built the first prototype charging stations, which entrepreneurs will use to charge mobile phones. The ever-increasing popularity of mobile phones, coupled with limited access to electricity, should prove to be a recipe for commercial success for these stations, which have been sized to charge up to 20 phones a day.
Entrepreneurs will supplement their income through the sale of mobile 'talk time'. Watch this space as we develop this idea further and for more interesting solar developments in Zambia.
