Brighterlite

for a brighter future.

It is estimated that as many as 50 million people is living without access to electricity in Pakistan today (IFC)

The world is in a desperate hurry to stop climate change. The poorest countries will suffer the worst consequences, and the next few years will determine whether all the progress made in the fight against poverty will be reversed by the effects of extreme weather, floods and droughts. At the same time, close to a billion people still lack basic electricity. Access to energy is a precondition to grow out of poverty, but if developing countries follow in the fossil footsteps of countries before them, it will be impossible to stop climate change. Providing a better alternative based on renewable sources should thus be a top priority of our climate and development policies. Luckily, the fast development and sinking costs of solar energy, batteries, energy efficient appliances and mobile technology open new opportunities for access to energy in a way that is both cheap and fast, and most importantly, clean. Building more large scale renewable power production is still necessary to outcompete fossil alternatives, but distributed solutions will have to play a key role in helping large parts of the world’s population leapfrog to a 100% renewable future in time.

Brighterlite is on a mission to provide electricity to households and small businesses, by leasing out solar home systems to underserved people of rural off-grid Pakistan who currently do not have access to regular electricity. Brighterlite Pakistan can solve all the problem one has with electricity by providing you with enough solar energy to power everything you need. We aspire to provide solar energy and light to at least 20.000 people in Pakistan by 2021.

One simple solution for all.

Brighterlite Pakistan introduces an affordable off-grid, easy self-installable small solar kit for families who suffer from electricity shortage in rural areas. Brighterlite Pakistan’s products are designed with unique features to replace other expensive supplements such as generators and fuel which are common providers for electricity in these areas. Distributed and off-grid renewable energy solutions are fast, clean and cost effective compared with conventional electrification by grid development. Distributed and off-grid solutions provide rural households, businesses and community services access to electricity at a lower cost than grid power

• Scaling distributed and off-grid energy solutions is the key to effectively achieving both development (SDG7) and climate (Paris) goals
