Sun King is a global leader in off-grid solar energy solutions, dedicated to providing clean, reliable, and affordable power to communities that lack consistent access to electricity. Founded in 2007 and originally known as Greenlight Planet, the company’s mission is to power access to brighter lives by designing, distributing, financing, and installing solar products (from small lighting kits to full solar home systems) that replace dangerous and expensive fossil-fuel alternatives like kerosene lamps. Sun King’s end-to-end approach combines high-quality engineering, inclusive financing models, and widespread last-mile delivery and installation networks, enabling households and businesses across Africa and Asia to leapfrog traditional grid infrastructure and unlock economic and educational opportunities.
Sun King’s values emphasise innovation, affordability, integrity, inclusivity, and durable impact, striving to make sustainable energy accessible regardless of income or location. The company’s pay-as-you-go (PAYG) financing model helps customers pay in small instalments, dramatically lowering barriers to clean energy adoption. It also fosters local employment through a large field agent network, boosting economic participation in underserved regions. With millions of solar systems deployed and tens of millions of lives powered, Sun King stands as a leader in the global clean energy transition, known for scalable business models, strong customer support, and measurable social and environmental impact.
