Salpha Energy Ltd., a Nigerian clean energy startup, has raised $1.3 million in funding from All On, an impact investment company backed by Shell, to expand its off-grid solar product line and distribution across underserved regions in Nigeria.
The Lagos-based company provides solar home systems, mini-grid-compatible devices, and solar-powered appliances for low-income households and small businesses. The capital injection will support Salphas operations in rural and peri-urban markets, with a focus on affordability and last-mile delivery.
This investment enables us to scale access to reliable, affordable solar solutions where they are needed most, said Emeka Eze, CEO of Salpha Energy.
Nigeria, Africas largest economy, has one of the worlds highest energy access deficits, with over 85 million people lacking reliable electricity. Off-grid solar has become a critical component of national and regional electrification strategies, with private firms increasingly stepping in to close the gap.
All On, which has backed over 50 energy access companies in Nigeria, said the funding aligns with its goal of accelerating the deployment of decentralized renewable energy. The investment will also support Salphas work in training solar technicians and deploying productive-use technologies such as solar-powered freezers and water pumps.
Salphas scalable model and technology-driven distribution make it a strong candidate to lead in the off-grid energy market, said Caroline Eboumbou, CEO of All On.
Founded in 2017, Salpha Energy says it has reached more than 100,000 households to date and plans to more than double its customer base by 2026.
