The Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF) has awarded $1.6m to Kanzang Solar to provide off-grid solar in remote Zambia. The Azuri Quad home lighting system is made up of a 10 watt solar panel, four LED lights and connectors for mobile phone charging, as well a rechargeable radio and torch. It also uses artificial intelligence to monitor weather conditions and customer usage patterns, and then adjusts output to ensure power throughout the night. A new project from the UK Department for International Development (DfID) will see an innovative solar-powered water pump installed on a farm near Oxford.
