Fresher Field Auditor Officer Career Jobs - M-KOPA Solar Ltd

Organization: M-KOPA Solar Ltd

Duty Station:  Kampala,

Uganda

Reports to: Finance Manager

M-KOPA

Solar, headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, is the global leader of

“pay-as-you-go” energy for off-grid customers.  Since its commercial launch in October 2012,

M-KOPA has connected more than 150,000 homes in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania to

solar power, and is now adding over 600 new homes each day. The success of

M-KOPA (M= mobile, KOPA= to borrow) stems from making solar products affordable

to low-income households on a pay-per-use installment plan. Customers acquire

solar systems for a small deposit and then purchase daily usage

“credits” for US $0.45, or less than the price of traditional

kerosene lighting.  After one year of

payments customers own their solar systems outright and can upgrade to more

power.  All revenues are collected in

real-time via mobile money systems (such as M-PESA in Kenya) and embedded GSM

sensors in each solar system allow M-KOPA to monitor real time performance and

regulate usage based upon payments.  This

connected design means that M-KOPA is processing vast amounts of data (i.e.

over 10,000 mobile payments per day) via the company’s proprietary cloud

platform, M-KOPAnet. M-KOPA has been recognized for its pioneering business

mode and scale, notably winning the 2015 Zayed Future Energy Prize, being

selected as the top New Energy Pioneer at the 2014 Bloomberg New Energy Finance

awards and earning the 2013 FT/IFC Excellence in Sustainable Finance Award.
