Kingo provides an accessible, reliable and innovative solar electricity service for families living without power. Kingo’s mission is to Turn Lives ON! Its vision is an electrified world where everyone has access to the type of energy they can afford and feel comfortable using. Kingo's solar service is prepaid, just like topping-up your mobile phone. Kingo installs solar systems or 'kingos'​ in customer homes and authorises community-based distributors to sell electricity to its customers by the hour, day, week and month. This flexible, risk-free payment method makes access to clean, safe and inexpensive electricity, accessible for even the remotest and most vulnerable of communities. Kingo's goal is to sustainably electrify at least 1,000,000 homes globally by 2020, improving the lives of 5,000,000 people.

At Kingo, they believe that access to electricity is a basic human right that is strongly correlated with human development. They also understand that the high upfront costs and low expected rates of return involved in supplying conventional electricity to low income rural families and communities, mean that national grids fail to reach a high percentage of the population in many countries across the world.

Their prepaid solar energy service overcomes these barriers and provides electricity that is sustainable for the company, the customer and the environment.
