Rural PAYG Growth Opportunity to expand pay-as-you-go solar offerings to smallholder farmers and rural households in Zambia and neighboring regions, leveraging existing PAYG pilots in Mumbwa and productive-use focus to drive adoption.

Community Hubs Expansion Leverage the new Shimukuni Community Energy Hub and planned additional hubs to offer bundled services such as agricultural productivity, market access, and energy solutions to farmers, feeding opportunities for equipment sales, maintenance contracts, and training programs.

Productive Use Upsell Target farmers and small businesses with solar-powered productive-use equipment (pumps, cold storage, grinders, processing units) aligned with hubs to increase energy demand, create recurring service revenue, and demonstrate ROI through reduced costs and increased yields.

Partnership Leverage Capitalize on existing multi-stakeholder partnerships (government, off-takers, NGOs, artists collaborations) to co-market and co-fund expansion, access subsidy programs, and open access to financing channels and grant opportunities.

Global Brand & Local Focus Use Little Sun’s global recognition and established NGO/non-profit positioning to secure corporate partnerships and donor funding for scale while tailoring solutions to the Lusaka region and provincial markets with local partnerships and impact storytelling.
