reform
Action
Facilitate partnerships between solar companies, brand owners,
and traders (distributors and retailers) to increase delivery of SAS
products particularly in rural communities, as well as the inflow of
quality products in the trade channel.
Build out non-trade distribution options - such as MFIS,
cooperatives and social groups - that have closer access to rural
communities. They can be explored as partners / representatives /
franchises for solar companies and brand owners
Facilitate partnerships between investors, financiers, and MFIS
to increase supply finance for traders and consumer finance for
consumers in order to scale delivery and improve affordability
Provide incentives, such as results-based financing, end-user
subsidy, or tax waivers, to encourage solar companies, brand
owners, and traders expand to rural and more vulnerable areas
Improve digital payment solutions such as PAYG, for SAS
products, and alternative consumer financing models
