The following SDG impact is applicable to Northlite:
Northlite Solar Limited is a renewable energy provider licensed in Ghana to bring clean, reliable solar power to remote and un-electrified rural communities, particularly in the northern regions. The company utilizes a unique franchise business model to train independent technical operators in the distribution, installation, and maintenance of solar systems. This approach not only provides essential energy infrastructure but also decentralizes technical expertise, ensuring the long-term sustainability of solar installations in underserved areas.
The impact of Northlite Solar is deeply rooted in social and economic empowerment, having trained over 235 renewable energy entrepreneurs—90% of whom are women. By focusing on women-led distribution networks, the company is bridging the gender gap in the energy sector while providing clean lighting and power to thousands of households.
