Homaya Solar Home System has been designed in order to provide a sturdy, sustainable and cost-effective source of energy, with features that make it suitable for extremely hot and humid environments.

Homaya is made by solar panels, an integrated battery and three or four lamps.

The long cycle life lithium iron phosphate battery supplies energy to the lamps as well as to other domestic small appliances such as radios, fans and TVs.

The cost for Homaya Solar Home System will be around one hundred dollars. In order to address the challenges related to the purchase and supply of the products to the targeted customers – usually, low-income people living in remote areas – Schneider Electric is establishing partnerships with various stakeholders, from global distributors to local companies and micro-financial institutions.
