Abstract
Our business's goal is to improve conditions in unelectrified rural communities in the Lake Bunyonyi region of Uganda through better access to affordable electricity using a DC solar microgrid. The microgrid has a hub of a solar panels with wires running to 30-50 homes and businesses. Based on research conducted over six weeks in Uganda, we have concluded an average willingness to pay of 20,000 Ugandan Shillings ($5.55 USD) for a month of service. We plan first to complete a pilot project and then to expand. Our ultimate mission is to create a large scale impact for Uganda.
