Greenlight Planet designs, distributes and finances Sun King solar home energy solutions to households and businesses who lack reliable access to the grid. Since its founding in 2008, the company has become a leading global provider of solar home energy products to over 45 million rural consumers in collaboration with 300 partners across the world. Throughout the last decade, the company has grown steadily, building expertise in developing high-quality solar-powered home energy solutions, product distribution in more than 40 countries in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America, and consumer financing through its unique ‘pay-as-you-go’ (PAYG) technology. Greenlight Planet continuously strives to meet the evolving needs of the off-grid market. Its wide range of trusted Sun King solar lamps and home energy systems deliver high performance and long shelf life. Greenlight Planet’s innovative pay-as-you-go technology, EasyBuy allows customers to pay for Sun King products in small installments over time making solar energy affordable even for consumers with limited savings. The Sun King EasyBuy range was designed to address the challenges of consumer affordability: leveraging its unique PAYGO technology, Greenlight can afford end consumers the option to pay for their solar energy solutions through a longer-term installment plan. Through this offering, consumers receive an ‘unlock token’ with each regular, incremental payment enabling their system to work for a period of time. Once they complete the series of payments, the final token perpetually unlocks the system, freeing up previous energy spend as household savings.
