Through its Demand Aggregation for Renewable Technology (DART) program, All On, an impact investment company based in Nigeria, has signed a $2.25 million credit facility investment with Baobab Plus Nigeria, a provider of innovative energy and digital solutions, to deploy 1,536 Solar Energy Systems (SES) with a power range of 600W to 3KW across the nation through its Distribution Channels.
In order to deploy 1,536 SES, the partnership intends to make use of Baobab+ Nigeria’s existing Pay-as-you-Go (PAYGO) Agent Network in 21 sites in South West, North Central, and North West of Nigeria.
Results indicated that Baobab+ would use this investment to leverage its partnerships with financial institutions throughout the nation and to extend its PayGo Agent Network into new areas.

“This deployment will mark a pivotal moment towards a sustainable energy future in Nigeria by providing affordable, reliable solar energy products for SMEs and Individuals,” a statement by All On said.
It noted that Baobab+ Nigeria and All On DART’s programme are not only illuminating homes and communities of the underserved and unserved, but also empowering communities, and protecting the environment.
The PayGo distribution channel will be used to finance and distribute stand-alone Solar Energy Systems to rural off-grid and underserved communities through agent network systems to aid last-mile distribution.
The flexible payment offered to the consumers, which DART’s attractive financing options contribute to, makes it possible to remove the major price barrier and make products accessible to people on low incomes by adapting to their spending habits. Baobab+ is also providing premium after-sales services to ensure the best possible customer experience.
