About us

Access to electricity is vital for improving living standards, providing food security, driving economic growth, and alleviating poverty. Yet, in many parts of the developing world, this basic necessity remains out of reach. Over 760 million people lack basic access to electricity, with billions more relying on harmful, polluting fuels for cooking, suffering from unstable power supplies and no access to clean and safe water, limiting their quality of life and hindering sustainable development.

Globally 1 in 4 people do not have access to clean and safe water for drinking, cooking and hygiene

In Sub-Saharan Africa, 4 out of 5 people live without reliable electricity and clean cooking solutions

We’re at the forefront of addressing the energy access challenge with cutting edge, scalable technology.

Our innovative system streamlines the installation of small-scale solar electricity setups, making clean, sustainable energy accessible to everyone.

By leveraging our internationally patented battery stacking and hibernation technologies, STOWER’s modular solar system provides an easy-to-install, scalable solution that reduces costs, extends system life, and prevents theft, offering efficient and sustainable energy access to underserved communities.

Our solutions go beyond meeting immediate energy needs—they contribute to environmental sustainability, advance gender equity, and support community resilience. With STOWER, we’re illuminating a brighter, more connected future for communities worldwide.
