Sign upA modular and autonomous solar home system in off-grid areas
Qotto - Solar Home System by Qotto implemented by Madelaine Bocco in Cotonou (Benin) in 2023
That was very convenient for her, as SHS are cheaper, more reliable and more sustainable than generator and than the grid itself. In Benin, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast, we deployed over 20,000 Solar Home Systems.

A modular and autonomous solar home system in off-grid areas
At date, access to electricity and to essential telecommunication services is not a commodity in some of the sub saharan countries. As a result, Qotto developed a modular and autonomous Solar Home System, connected with frugal Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication, to provide better access to energy in off-grid areas. This standalone Solution is based on few simple components (e.g. solar panel, charge controller, smart card, batteries and appliances) and will allow quick and easy access to electricity directly in the customer's home. Qotto distributes, leases and maintains the system, while the client subscribes and pays (via mobile money services) in a pay-as-you-go format. In addition to that, the system allows for high flexibility and customisation, as each product is scalable according to consumer's needs. Over time additional solar panels can be installed in order to satisfy higher energy needs. This Solution aims at improving the quality of life in developing countries, as an example key applications include: lighting, TV, radio, mobile charging, cooling devices, in remote areas.
