What is Energy Systems & What do We do?
Energy Systems is a Cameroonian Based Start-up doing in renewable energy solutions for rural areas in Cameroon. We aim to assist local communities and businesses in their daily energy struggle. Cameroon in particular and Africa’s Rural areas in general pain to be connected to the electrical grid due generally to their geographical positions or the lack of real policy to tackle that serious issue of energy. So our main target as a start-up is to fulfil that gap of service by providing clean, cheap and renewable energy solutions. Our final prototype, the data related to our future market and customers are ready but we face a real obstacle which is raising funds for setting a small factory, buying solar cells, batteries and other accessories for our solar kits. Due to the fact, local financial institutions are reticent to the idea to invest in early-stage startups crowdfunding has presented itself as the ultimate solutions for us. In the time you are reading this, more than one and half billion people worldwide lack electricity either because they cannot afford it or because they are in remote areas. Our main goal is to help reduce this number while making a profit for our company. This campaign is an occasion for us to get financial support and to start a real production.
Opportunities
The impact of energy shortage in Africa is significant: the World Bank estimates that this chronic shortage of power reduces Africa’s economic growth by about two percentage points every year. A lack of clean, safe and affordable light in off-grid homes negatively affects health, education and local business.
With this backdrop, the continent is ripe for energy innovation. The annual cost of living off-grid is around $27 billion globally, money which is spent on kerosene, candles, battery torches and other stopgap technologies for lighting and mobile-phone charging. Increasingly, initiatives to provide off-grid solar power are providing home solar solutions, which provide a better service at a more affordable cost. Our aim as a business is to exploit that huge market potential and also help make other's life better.
We are committed to offering clean power at a price within our customers’ existing energy budget. They are able to pay for our product over time and choose the service level that best suits their household’s needs.
The Reason we need funds?
At this stage the only real obstacle we are facing is fund. We do not have sufficient cash to start our production. The main parts of our products are :
- Solar cells & accessories to make an entire solar panel
- Inverters
- Charge Controllers
- Batteries
- Wiring &other Accessories.
Funds raised from this campaign will be used to buy those materials we need for our production.
Why Should You Support Us?
We've come a long way since our project was just an inspiration! It's been an exciting journey, but also a tremendous amount of work for few people and occasional part-time volunteers. We're hiring a team to help us move into production. We are blessed to have a multitude of potential customers, even before our products being ready.
If you love our concept but aren't able to contribute financially, no worries. There are so many other ways to help out. We appreciate those who tell us they talk about Energy Systems with people they meet. It helps us when people join in on our social media pages to "like", comment, share, tweet, and pin. We have to give a special shout-out to our wonderful Facebook fans who have formed a sort of grassroots movement to help spread the word and move us forward.
Our Action will impact thousands of people's health, economy and way of living

Final Steps!!!
Thank you so much for supporting our business. We're super excited to finally launch our Campaign. The last months have been a crazy roller coaster ride for us, where we busted our butts every day to get to this point. And we've only just begun!
The encouragement of so many people makes us feel that we're really on to something special here. We hope to make people all over the world have more access to this basic right which is electricity. Please join our journey and spread the word to make the world a better place.
Over the past 12 months, we have pored over tons of energy research and studies about solar energy off-grid solutions. From there, we set out to take this research and develop a product with a target to improve the lives of many. After much trial and error, we’ve arrived at a prototype that people really love. Our manufacturing partners are ready to go. All we need is your support so we can deliver electricity to people doorstep.
Thank You For Your Pledge!
