In a bold step towards bridging the energy gap and promoting clean, sustainable power across Sierra Leone, Orange Energy has launched its innovative Pay-As-You-Go Solar Kits—a game-changer for families living without access to reliable electricity.
Launched in June 2020, Orange Energy was born from a simple, powerful insight: access to electricity remains one of the biggest challenges for people in rural areas. Noting the fact that thousands of households still rely on candles, kerosene lamps, or walking long distances just to charge their phones, Orange saw an opportunity to make a real difference in the people’s lives and designed a solution: a flexible, affordable solar energy service that puts the power—literally—into people’s hands.
With Orange’s Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) model, customers can now purchase solar kits using small, manageable payments through Orange Money, either weekly or monthly. This approach allows families to redirect what they would normally spend on candles and fuel into owning a clean energy system. All it takes is a small initial payment and one month’s subscription to activate the service. After that, consistent monthly payments eventually lead to full ownership of the kit—no hidden fees, no surprises.
These solar kits don’t just light up homes—they charge phones, keep families connected, and enable small businesses to operate after dark, even in off-grid areas. And if a kit develops a fault that isn’t the customer’s doing, Orange will repair or replace it immediately, free of charge.
This launch couldn’t have come at a better time than now. With the global shift toward clean energy solutions, Orange Energy is not only providing environmentally friendly and safe alternatives to traditional fuels, but it’s also helping protect the future of Sierra Leone’s children and the planet at large.
Whether you’re in a rural village or facing load shedding in the city, Orange Energy offers a dependable solution for lighting up your world.
