Description
Kenya is one of the largest markets for off-grid solar products and shows the highest growth rates in Africa. This project will tackle the issues related to electronic waste from off-grid solar products in collaboration with the local distributor Solibrium, a social enterprise located in Kakamega, Western Kenya. The main project goals are the lifetime extension of off-grid solar products and the introduction of economic viable business models for waste management and the recycling of solar home systems.
