ZOLA Electric
Clean, affordable, reliable, solar energy solutions.
In a world where one in five people live without electricity, we provide clean, transformative energy to households that suffer from expensive, unreliable grids or have no grid access at all. By generating renewable power from the sun, our systems are helping customers reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Replacing all kerosene lamps worldwide with solar lights would be equivalent to a 5% reduction in the U.S's annual emissions. Each new household we reach means an additional 140 kg of carbon dioxide and 1.45 kg of black carbon in avoided emissions. By displacing kerosene usage with our powerful LEDs, we not only reduce dangerous side effects, but provide light that the whole family can enjoy at once. The affordability of our systems allows customers to maintain their current energy spending while getting brighter light and more powerful electronics. Over the next decade the renewable energy sector will become one of the largest employers in Africa.
