Affordable power brick innovation energises underserved communities
A pioneering solar power solution co-developed with Wits University is transforming access to energy in underserved communities, one “Power Brick” at a time. Peco Power, launched through a collaboration between Wits and impact investment partner Mbono, offers a modular, affordable energy system designed to grow with a household’s needs. The innovation was developed with support from Wits Enterprise, which helped shape the commercialisation strategy that led to Peco Power’s spin-out as an independent company. Wits remains a foundational stakeholder in the venture.
