What’s the customer savings pay-back time like on solar lights in Africa?
Do you subsidise the cost of the light in Africa?
We sell lights at a ‘fair market rate’ so that local entrepreneurs and other agencies can join the market and make a profit too. We do this by taking a hit on the distribution costs. It costs a lot of money to get these lights into remote communities and educate people about their benefits. This is where your donation comes in, covering the £15 cost of getting these lights to the people that need them most.

Is SolarAid giving support to the conflict in Ukraine?
We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine. We are appalled by the war and its devastating consequences.
At this point, SolarAid isn’t in a position to help directly, as our resources and expertise are dedicated to serving communities in rural Africa. We do know, however, that lack of power will be causing huge difficulties for many people in Ukraine. In a crisis situation, small solar lights and chargers can provide vital access to light, radio and power to keep mobile phones switched on.
We refer to trusted organisations such as ShelterBox and UNHCR who are distributing solar lights, as well as other life saving support on the ground.
