Solar Village is a Norwegian brand that specializes in developing, manufacturing, distributing, and financing solar solutions for smallholder farmers in Africa. With a goal of improving their agricultural productivity and standard of living, Solar Village offers tailored Pay-As-You-Go enabled solar solutions. The main product offered by Solar Village is the Battery Stick™, a versatile power source.

In the field, it powers highly efficient herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide sprayers developed specifically for African smallholder farmers. These sprayers are safe, labor-saving, and water-efficient, ultimately helping farmers increase their yields. At home, the Battery Stick™ provides power for a range of household appliances such as lamps, TVs, and fans.

This is particularly beneficial for smallholder farmers who live off-grid. The standard Battery Stick™ kit includes a Battery Stick™ with a built-in torch, a 10W solar panel, LED lamps, and USB phone charge connectors. Additional accessories like an LED TV, USB fan, and mini speaker are available, providing increased comfort in farmers' homes.

Solar Village operates in Zambia and six other African markets, serving both individual customers and businesses. Founded in 2013 by Peter Legat, Solar Village aims to address the challenges faced by smallholder farmers while promoting sustainable and accessible solar energy solutions
