Across Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire, millions of households and small businesses still depend on costly and polluting alternatives such as petrol generators or kerosene lighting, which constrain productivity and affect health outcomes. Lumos is helping to reshape this reality by delivering high-quality solar power systems (SPS) that make clean electricity accessible to small...
