AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT PROVIDER TO EAST AFRICA’S RURAL ECONOMY.
Simusolar is focused on creating solar-powered products that have a direct and significant impact on productivity. We identified how to deliver clean-energy powered equipment to off-grid communities, and also how to deliver these products so that they are affordable to smallholder agribusinesses.
Simusolar provides and finances accessible, affordable, and energy-efficient equipment designed for off-grid businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our systems are designed to meet the needs of rural smallholders, from equipment specifications to innovative financing terms. Our goal is to enable rural smallholder farmers and fishers to achieve their vision, affordably and sustainably.
- We envision laborers that don’t have to migrate to cities for a better quality of life.
- We envision rural communities that do not depend entirely on rainfall to ensure reliable food and income.
- We envision economies that are sustainable, equitable, and inspiring to all.

WE DO
AGRICULTURE EQUIPMENT ACCESS.
Simusolar is the leading productivity-enhancing agricultural equipment provider to East Africa’s rural economy.
In addition to equipment, we offer financing mechanisms that enable small-scale agribusinesses to invest in increasing their productivity.
Our unique financing model breaks through traditional barriers to equipment access faced by smallholder farmers and fishers. We provide:
OUR PRODUCTS AND FINANCIAL SERVICES.
We partner with agricultural co-ops, capacity builders/NGOs, input suppliers and offtakers to reach and train farmers and fishers – leveraging a network of trust and support that has been in place for decades.
Our products and financial services benefit every stage of the agricultural supply chain reducing risk and increasing profitability for farmers and fishers.
OUR IMPACT – BASED ON SURVEY RESULTS BY ACUMEN LEAN DATA.
Over 63% of Simusolar customers were below the Tanzanian poverty line at the time of purchase. The majority of our profits will be reinvested in achieving our mission of greater incomes across rural Africa.
Environmental
On average, each fishing light customer averts 1.6 tons of CO2 and black carbon emissions each year.
Quality of Life
End users noted the increased income has enabled them to upgrade homes, buy land for farming, open kiosks, pay school fees for children, and to start other businesses.
Customers mentioned that their well-being had improved due to more food to eat, the repayment of loans, and disposable income to pay for children’s school fees.
Financial
97% of fishers saw their income increase and 0% saw their income decrease.
94% of farmers said their yields had increased.
100% of solar-pump customers said they had experienced an increase in their incomes through increased yields and lack of expenditure on fuel.
Customer spend per week on fuel and water pump repayments is, on average, 42% less than their fuel expenditure prior to purchasing a Simusolar pump.
86% of customers said it was the first product they had bought on credit.
