South African-Ghanaian Nthabiseng Mosia co-founded Easy Solar, which makes energy affordable through a range of pay-as-you-go solar solutions in Sierra Leone and Liberia, where 75% of the population is off-grid. During her graduate studies in energy finance at Columbia University, Nthabi met her co-founders, and they set out their business plans. Households and small businesses can access various solar systems and appliances through a distribution network of last mile agents and urban shops. Customers are enabled to build a credit history on a fintech software platform. Easy Solar also offers commercial and industrial customers tailored solar and hybrid options. Expansion plans include Guinea.
