The charge ledger

Your balance starts at zero
and settles itself.

Deployed · you paid ₦0Cost retired · ownership transfers

Deployment cost is retired by daily engagement, not by an invoice. Month 4 is the baseline, not a promise — it assumes sustained daily use across the cohort, and we will show you the sensitivity before you sign anything. If engagement runs lower, retirement takes longer. That risk sits with us, which is why we care so much about the onboarding.

The mechanism

What zero down actually means here

Deployment is not a purchase

Units ship against your signed programme agreement, not a payment. Nothing leaves your budget on day one.

The cost is retired by engagement

Beneficiaries use the app daily. That engagement revenue services the deployment cost, month by month.

Your grant pays the remainder, on your schedule

Whatever the engagement layer has not retired by the time your tranche lands is invoiced then — not before.

Ownership transfers to the programme

Once the deployment cost is fully retired, the hardware is the programme's outright. No lease, no return clause.

Written for programme and M&E leads

This is not for everyone.

Read both columns before you apply. The second one saves us both a call.

This fits if

  • You hold or are shortlisted for a grant with an energy, education or livelihoods line
  • You report beneficiary-level outcomes to a donor and the reporting is contractual
  • You can identify 500+ beneficiaries in a defined geography
  • You need verified impact numbers, not estimates, in your next report

This does not fit if

  • You need units for internal staff use only, with no beneficiary cohort
  • Your programme has no monitoring or evaluation obligation
  • You are looking for a donation rather than a programme deployment
Sequence

How the impact data reaches your donor

  1. Beneficiaries receive units

    Each unit is registered to a named beneficiary at handover. No anonymous distribution.

  2. Daily use generates verified records

    Solar harvest, device charges and hours of light are logged per unit, per day.

  3. Your dashboard aggregates it

    Beneficiaries reached, kWh generated, devices charged, hours of light, CO₂e avoided — live.

  4. Reports export on your donor's cycle

    Monthly or quarterly, in the format your funder expects. Attached to your next application.

Questions

What you are probably thinking.

Who owns the units before the cost is retired?

SOLAPS retains title until retirement, then transfers to the programme. The beneficiary holds and uses the unit throughout — title has no effect on their access.

What if the grant does not come through?

We agree the fallback in the programme agreement before deployment. Typically that is unit recovery, not a debt against the organisation.

How is the impact data verified?

Telemetry is logged per unit and per day into an append-only record. We will walk your M&E lead through the methodology before you sign anything.

Can we brand the units for the programme or funder?

Yes. Co-branding is arranged at manufacture for deployments at container scale.
