Spark supplies modular, plug-and-play solar kits combined with pay-as-you-go technology and a digital management portal for distribution partners. Its modular approach lets households start with basic lighting and gradually add appliances as needs and finances grow. Spark distributes through local partners across more than 23 countries and estimates its systems have reached around two million people in markets including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria and Madagascar. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Breda, the company leverages distributor networks rather than selling directly to consumers. Spark plans to expand financial support for distributors through programs such as Spark Catalyse, Spark Connect and its existing Spark Invest platform. The company faces challenges from high borrowing costs and currency fluctuations in key markets.
