Nigerian clean tech startup SunFi, that connects people and businesses who want solar energy access to payment plans that match their needs raised $2.325 million in seed funding.
Nigerian households and businesses have little or no access to affordable and reliable solar technology, reducing their reliance on grid-based power, which suffers from insufficient generation capacity and fails to serve the majority of the country’s 200 million rural residents. Though this company evolved into SunFi three years later, Thomas described the launch of Aspire as the beginning of a lifelong journey to address the electricity issues that individuals and businesses face in Nigeria.
