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.
WATCH NOWOver 2 000 graduates will be capped at Wits’ July ceremonies, featuring two honorary degree recipients. Professor Iginio Gagliardone was appointed as the SA-UK Chair in Digital Humanities to advance Africa’s role in tech innovation. The recent Parents’ Day saw over a thousand visitors exploring Wits’ academic offerings. Wits-backed Peco Power is transforming energy access with its affordable, scalable Power Brick system. Meanwhile, Wits University reaffirmed its commitment to student wellbeing at a seminar focused on supporting student transitions.
