Solar Kiosk
Designing a transportable solar kiosk solution that empowers solar entrepreneurs to expand their business opportunities in rural Tanzania
For the startup Juabar, a solar kiosk was designed that powers connectivity in rural communities in Tanzania. The kiosk enables people to pursue new and more efficient ways of making a living by providing phone charging and internet connectivity. With the limited availability and reliability of grid electricity, the kiosk acts as an energy hub, accelerating development to better living standards.
