Nigerian startup Pirano Energy is delivering reliable and affordable solar solutions to residential and commercial customers across the country, reducing their reliance on generators and grid usage, and empowering businesses to cut energy costs by between 20 and 60 per cent. Launched in 2018, Pirano Energy allows customers to purchase a solar system outright, or take advantage of its five-year rent-to-own scheme. It’s a win-win for everybody,” Bola Ogidan, founder and CEO of Pirano Energy, told Disrupt Africa. Ogidan founded Pirano in December 2018, with its first installation being in April 2019. It just so happens that it also dramatically reduces greenhouse gases at the same time – making it an even better solution.”Africa has a power problem, Ogidan said, and “power has a funding problem”.
