DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION

Solar Brother distributes quality solar products to the most vulnerable rural and semi-urban populations of the Tanganyika Province in DR Congo using a PAYGO model. Distribution will be done by talented and trained agents. Many potential customers have lost trust in solar because of poor products in the market. To address this, Solar Brother will target early sales to influential community members.
