Since its foundation, Solaris has helped more than 4.4 million people benefit from improved access to energy.

Founded in 2016 by Siten Mandalia, Thibault Lesueur and Benjamin David, Solaris Off Grid publishes PaygOps, a modular B2B SaaS platform that enables African businesses to easily distribute basic goods and services to the bottom of the pyramid. PaygOps enables retailers to manage their operations, particularly on credit. PaygOps provides a receivables management infrastructure, integrated with mobile money services, to automate payment, reconciliation and notification workflows. Distributors have access via a mobile application (with offline functionality) and a web interface.

Solaris Off Grid’s expertise is based on hands-on experience in the distribution of solar products in Tanzania.
