On November 26th, 4000 units of pay-as-you-go(PAYG) solar home systems have been loaded in a total of 4 containers, being shipped to Burkina Faso in West Africa, and they are also the last four out of eleven 40HQ containers shipped to Africa and Oceania in November. Thus Solar Run Energy has successfully made the delivery of solar lighting systems for rural electrification in Burkina Faso on time with high quality after the last container sealed.

Burkina Faso is one of the least electrified countries globally, currently at 19% overall, with 60% of the urban and only 3% of the rural population connected to electricity. The government has made the plan to reach a global 95% electricity access (50% in rural areas) by 2030. The Government also set a target of 50% Renewable Energy in the electric mix by 2030. Nonetheless, off-grid products often offer a quicker and more affordable option to provide modern lighting and energy services to a rural population, something that the Government of Burkina Faso recognizes, and is working together with sectors in the solar home system industry to support.
