Market Study: Low Cost Solar Lights spoiling the Market in Kenya

Here’s a very interesting market study, issued by Lighting Africa. It shows how cheap, low-quality solar torches are swamping the market in Kenya. For sure the situation will be very similar in other African countries. Customers purchase those lights, and discover the poor quality soon enough. They are unhappy and loose their trust into solar lights alltogether. Read more in this interesting report what this means and how to identify good quality products.

Lighting Africa is a World Bank Group (WBG) initiative which supports the private sector to develop, accelerate, and sustain the market for modern off-grid lighting technologies tailored to the needs of African consumers.
