Solar phone-charging kiosks for markets

Traders and shoppers in open-air markets across Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya have unreliable power, and phones are how they take payments. A dead phone means lost sales.

Solar-powered charging kiosks with lockable compartments, placed in busy markets. Users pay a small fee by mobile money to charge while they shop. The kiosk screen also shows local adverts and market prices.

Revenue: charging fees, advertising space, and placement deals with telecom and mobile-money companies who want branding in markets.

Looking for investors for the first 50 kiosks and a salesperson to sign advertising and telecom partnerships.

This is a starter idea from the UnbuiltHub team. Nobody owns it: if you'd like to build it, share your own version and find your team here.
