MOPO
Provides clean, affordable energy to the off-grid market in Africa
About MOPO
MOPO operates in the energy sector, focusing on providing sustainable power solutions across Africa through its innovative pay-per-use battery technology. The company offers a unique service by distributing energy via solar power stations and proprietary MOPO Batteries, managed by a network of local agents. MOPO's core product, the 1kWh MOPOMax Battery, serves as a replacement for traditional petrol generators, allowing customers to operate 230V AC appliances without incurring high upfront costs. This system is particularly beneficial for motorbike taxi riders, who can swap batteries at solar-powered hubs, compatible with various e-motorbike manufacturers. MOPO's business model is centered around a pay-per-use service, ensuring energy is only discharged upon payment through the MOPO App, thus aligning with the financial constraints of its clientele. The company collaborates with global partners to maintain high environmental and social standards, aiming to set new benchmarks in the energy sector. MOPO continues to expand its battery rental operations and enhance battery capabilities to optimize ROI, while exploring new energy opportunities from its R&D center in Sheffield.
