It enables accessible and affordable energy to the last mile while ensuring space for technological solutions and innovations to work towards sustainable development goals. Yet there is a huge gap in the sector due to a lack of entrepreneurs/enterprises/organizations across the world, to build and promote a holistic and sustainable energy ecosystem.
