Solar-as-a-Service
Solarket is a Solar-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to provide affordable, reliable, and clean energy access for homes, businesses, and underserved communities across Sub-Saharan Africa — without the burden of high upfront energy costs. The platform enables flexible Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) energy access, allowing users to pay daily for electricity usage from as low as 50 cents per day.
Solarket removes the biggest barrier to solar adoption in Africa — the cost of battery storage, inverters, and energy management systems. Through a unique ownership model, Solaristique retains ownership of the power infrastructure while users simply pay for the electricity they consume, making clean energy accessible to households and businesses that previously could not afford it.
Smart Solar Energy Made Affordable
Solarket's Solar-as-a-Service model decouples the cost of clean energy generation from the cost of the infrastructure needed to manage it. Customers invest in the roofing asset — SolaRof hybrid solar sheets — while Solaristique owns and operates the Power Pack and smart metering system. The result is a dramatically lower entry cost for clean energy access, with daily billing that mirrors how most Africans already manage their energy expenses.

SolaRof — The Core Product
SolaRof is the core product powering the Solarket platform. It is an innovative hybrid solar roofing sheet that functions both as a durable roofing material and a solar energy generation system. Unlike conventional solar panels mounted on rooftops, SolaRof roofing sheets generate electricity directly from sunlight while serving as the building's roof — making the solution space-efficient, aesthetically appealing, and practical for residential and commercial applications.
The roofing sheets are connected to Solaristique's smart metering system and IoT-enabled Power Pack — an all-in-one energy unit that combines an inverter, charge controller, and battery storage system into a compact solution. Under the Solarket model, customers purchase the SolaRof roofing sheets while the Power Pack and smart metering infrastructure remain fully owned and managed by Solaristique.
Hybrid Solar Roofing Sheet
SolaRof sheets function simultaneously as a durable roofing material and a solar energy generation system — eliminating the need for separate roof and panel installations. Space-efficient, aesthetically designed, and built for both residential and commercial applications.
IoT-Enabled Power Pack
An all-in-one compact unit combining an inverter, charge controller, and battery storage system. Owned and fully managed by Solaristique — the customer never needs to purchase, maintain, or replace this infrastructure. It handles all energy conversion, storage, and distribution automatically.
Smart Metering System
Integrated smart meters track electricity consumption in real time, enabling accurate PAYGO billing, remote monitoring, and automated credit management. Users can top up energy credits conveniently and monitor their usage through a connected platform.
PAYGO Daily Billing
Users pay only for the electricity they consume — daily, without committing to monthly contracts or large upfront payments. Billing starts from as low as $0.50 per day, making clean solar energy accessible to low-income households and small businesses across Sub-Saharan Africa.
Remote Energy Management
The IoT-enabled platform enables remote monitoring, energy management, usage tracking, and seamless PAYGO billing — all managed by Solaristique without requiring any action from the user. Fault detection, performance alerts, and system diagnostics are handled remotely in real time.
Customer Owns the Roof, We Run the Rest
Customers purchase only the SolaRof roofing sheets — a permanent asset that serves as their building's roof. Solaristique owns and manages the Power Pack and smart metering infrastructure, eliminating the largest cost barrier to solar adoption while giving customers long-term ownership of the core roofing asset.
Energy Vending
Solarket also provides energy vending services that enable users and communities to access electricity through a flexible Pay-As-You-Go model. Through Solaristique's smart metering and IoT-enabled infrastructure, users can conveniently purchase energy credits based on their daily or periodic electricity needs — without committing to large upfront payments.
The energy vending system supports households, shops, SMEs, market clusters, and off-grid communities by providing affordable and reliable clean energy access. The smart technology enables accurate energy monitoring, remote management, automated billing, and efficient energy distribution — ensuring transparency and sustainability across the energy ecosystem.
Flexible Energy Credit Purchase
Users purchase energy credits as needed — daily, weekly, or periodically — based on their actual electricity consumption. There are no fixed contracts, no minimum commitments, and no penalties for low-usage periods. Pay only for the energy you use, when you need it.
Households, Shops, SMEs & Communities
The energy vending system is designed to serve a broad range of users — from individual households and market traders to small and medium enterprises, market clusters, and entire off-grid communities. Any user with access to a Solarket-connected meter can access affordable electricity.
Accurate Energy Monitoring
Our IoT-enabled smart meters provide precise, real-time measurement of every unit of electricity consumed. Users and Solaristique both have full visibility of consumption data — eliminating billing disputes, preventing energy waste, and ensuring every credit purchased delivers its full value.
Automated Billing & Credit Management
The Solarket platform automates all billing processes — tracking credit balances, triggering low-credit alerts, processing top-ups, and managing disconnection and reconnection seamlessly. There is no manual billing, no paperwork, and no human error in the payment and credit management process.
Remote Management & Energy Distribution
Solaristique's operations team manages the entire energy vending infrastructure remotely — monitoring meter performance, managing credit distribution, resolving faults, and optimising energy flow across all connected users without requiring on-site visits for routine operations.
Why Choose Solarket
Solarket is built around a single insight: the biggest barrier to solar adoption in Africa is not the technology — it is the upfront cost. By separating the ownership of the solar roof from the ownership of the energy management infrastructure, Solarket makes clean energy accessible to households and businesses that cannot afford the traditional all-in-one solar system model.
No Large Upfront Investment Required
Traditional solar installations require customers to purchase panels, inverters, batteries, and a charge controller upfront — often costing hundreds of thousands of naira. Solarket eliminates this barrier entirely. Customers purchase only the SolaRof roofing sheets, while Solaristique owns and manages all the energy infrastructure. The result is clean energy access at a fraction of the conventional cost.
Affordable Daily Billing That Matches Real Life
Most households and small businesses in Sub-Saharan Africa manage expenses on a daily or weekly basis — not monthly. Solarket's PAYGO model mirrors this reality, enabling users to top up energy credits as little or as much as they need, starting from $0.50 per day. No fixed contracts, no minimum payments, and no penalties for low usage periods.
Full Infrastructure Managed by Solaristique
Users never have to worry about inverter maintenance, battery replacement, or system faults. Solaristique owns and remotely manages all Power Pack and smart metering infrastructure for the entire life of the system. Faults are detected remotely, resolved quickly, and serviced by our technical team — with no disruption or additional cost to the user.
