Global off-grid solar kit sales hit record 10.2 million in 2025

The report highlights strong growth in East Africa and Nigeria, where subsidies and results-based financing helped improve affordability and boost pay-as-you-go product sales by almost 50%. Sales of solar home systems rose 48% year on year to 2.52 million, while multi-light systems rose 36% to 2.65 million. For energy-access planning, the signal is clear: off-grid solar is becoming a measurable pillar of electrification strategy, not only a last-mile niche.
