Easy Solar has successfully tackled the challenge of making solar energy accessible to households in Sierra Leone and Liberia through its inclusive finance model. Easy Solar distributes solar kits that enable households not connected to the grid (in Sierra Leone and Liberia) to access clean and affordable energy. Easy Solar also offers solutions tailored to local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Founded in 2015 by Alexandre Tourre, Nthabiseng Mosia, and Eric Silverman, the company benefits from the combined expertise of its three founders in the energy and strategy fields in Africa. The company has quickly built a recognized brand in Sierra Leone and Liberia. To date, it has already provided over a million people with better access to energy.
