Easy Solar and Mikashboks have announced a new partnership aimed at expanding access to renewable energy through an innovative “Save to Buy” solution.
Under the collaboration, customers can acquire Easy Solar home systems and quality appliances through disciplined saving on the Mikashboks platform, without taking on debt. Users select the Easy Solar product they want, make incremental payments via the Mikashboks app, and receive a digital voucher and product delivery once fully funded.
The companies described the model as a shift from credit-led acquisition to savings-based ownership. Easy Solar said the approach reflects its belief that “clean, reliable energy is a right, not a privilege reserved for those who can qualify for credit”.
Rashidatu Sankoh, Sales and Marketing Lead at Mikashboks, said the partnership gives users “a secure, digital pathway to turn their daily savings into life-changing assets”. She added that it aims to shift “from the anxiety of ‘pay-back’ to the lasting pride of ‘save-to-own’”.
Ben Afrifa, Managing Director of Easy Solar’s PAYGO Business Unit, said the partnership responds to demand from households that are “financially capable, digitally engaged, and deliberate in their choices”. He noted it expands Easy Solar’s addressable customer base and deepens engagement with the savings ecosystem.
The partnership represents a deliberate expansion of Easy Solar’s go-to-market strategy, targeting savings-disciplined, debt-averse households that have historically sat outside the PAYGO funnel. The companies said the model sits at the intersection of Africa’s clean energy transition and the rise of digital financial services, and that both intend to scale it.
Easy Solar distributes solar energy solutions and durable goods across West Africa. Since 2016, the company has served over 720,000 people and established more than 19 shops in Sierra Leone.
