Our Mission

Aleris Analytics Solar Charger

This solar-powered charger with PAYG lighting is a game-changing product for Africa’s Base of the Pyramid (BoP) because it directly addresses the most urgent and widespread needs of off-grid, low-income communities in a way that’s affordable, accessible, and empowering by:

Solves a Critical Problem: Energy Poverty

  • Over 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to reliable electricity.
  • Many rely on kerosene lamps, which are dangerous, unhealthy, and expensive.
  • This product provides clean, safe, and renewable lighting and phone charging—basic needs that unlock opportunities in education, safety, and economic activity.


Impact: Empowers families to live, learn, and work even after sunset.

Affordable Through PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go)

  • The daily cost of $0.25 or less makes it accessible for even the lowest-income households.
  • No need for upfront investment—just small mobile payments using M-Pesa, MTN Mobile Money, or Airtel.
  • Once fully paid off, the unit unlocks permanently, providing lifetime value.


Impact: Removes cost as a barrier and creates a path to ownership.

Designed for African Conditions

  • Built with IP65-rated weatherproofing for dust, rain, and heat.
  • Comes with long (15') LED light cables so homes with separate rooms or shops can be fully lit.
  • Uses LiFePO4 batteries for longer lifespan, safety, and temperature resilience.


Impact: Built to last in rural and rugged environments where durability matters most.

Empowers Economic Participation

  • Lights allow small businesses to operate at night, students to study longer, and families to charge phones and stay connected.
  • The charger supports both USB-A and USB-C, ensuring compatibility with all types of phones.
  • This creates a foundation for micro-entrepreneurship and digital inclusion.


Impact: Turns power into possibility for families and communities.

Creates Local Jobs & Economic Inclusion

  •  The distribution model leverages community-based agents—empowering locals to become salespeople and technicians.
  • Local assembly and service centers create economic development at the village level.
  • Customers become part of a connected ecosystem, not just recipients of a product.

Impact: Stimulates job creation and keeps value within the local economy.

Scalable and Sustainable

  • The design is modular and upgradable—batteries or panels can be swapped or expanded.
  • It aligns with UN SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and supports climate action by reducing carbon emissions.
  • With partnerships (telecoms, NGOs, MFIs), the product can be rapidly scaled across regions.


Impact: A future-proof solution that can grow with the customer and the market.

Built on Trust, Data & Smart Design

  • Developed by Aleris Analytics, which uses data to identify real BoP needs and tailor solutions to local behaviors, incomes, and infrastructure gaps.
  • Features like LCD battery indicators, PAYG unlock system, and smart energy management create a user experience that is intuitive, reliable, and empowering.


Impact: A product people understand, trust, and rely on daily.

In Summary:

This is a transformational product, not just a functional one. It combines:

  • 🌞 Clean energy
  • 📱 Digital access
  • 💡 Affordable lighting
  • 💰 Economic empowerment
  • 📦 Local delivery & scalability

All tailored for the unique economic, cultural, and environmental realities of the African BoP.
