hiLyte provide clean and affordable lighting and phone-charging services to their end-customers in rural communities. They do this by working with agents on the ground who are commonly shopkeepers. Solar panels, hiLyte charging boxes, and hiLyte cubes are rented to their agents. They provide these agents with the required installation, maintenance, and training to get their business started to provide the charged hiLyte cubes to customers. Overall, their solutions are designed to bring clean and affordable electricity to rural communities, empowering their people. Briac Barthes, the Co-Founder & CEO, participated in the program 2019.
