      SolarWorks! was founded in 2008 by industrial designer Bernard Hulshof and econometric Arnoud de Vroomen. The SolarWorks! development centre is based at the incubator of the University of Technology in Delft (The Netherlands). Here products design and R&D is conducted. The distribution of the Solar Home Systems is done in Mozambique, where over 80% of the 29 million inhabitants do not have access to electricity. Mozambique is an untapped market with fast growing mobile money penetration which is an important driver behind the fast growing sales of Pay As You Go sales.

      Arnoud de Vroomen is CEO of the company. He worked several years at Unilever and has been the director of Lemnis Solar. SolarWorks! also has a sales office in Johannesburg.

      With a loan SolarWorks will be able to provide Solar Home Systems to companies and families in Mozambique.

      Impacto

      SolarWorks! offers affordable solar home systems to families and companies in off-grid areas in Mozambique, where over 80% of the 29 million inhabitants don’t have access to energy. The arrival of electricity in a neighborhood has multiple positive impacts on the local economy and community. Lighting extends opening hours of shops, which results in increased wages. It improves security at night and allows children to study after dusk to obtain better results at school. 

      Electricity also provides people access to information through radios and to communication thanks to their charged mobile phones. A solar home system avoids the use of toxic fuels like kerosene and wood, which are harmful to health and cause respiratory problems due to their fumes. Within the company, 95% of their employees are locals, and they aim for a 50/50 gender mix.
