Missed this good question last month [0]:

> I was surprised not to find a marketplace of products. Is there a way to see which products/services are available through Angaza in a particular country? Specifically Kenya

Angaza is a B2B SaaS company. We don't distribute physical products ourselves, but we provide sales, IoT, and operational software used by last-mile distribution companies [1] in many different countries.

Some of the hardware we work with is listed on:

https://devices.angaza.com/

A typical distributor imports and sells only a small subset of that entire ecosystem, though.

Kenya specifically is a huge market for Angaza customers! Sun King and Mwezi are two examples. To be clear, Angaza and our customers focus on relatively small solar + DC appliances for rural and peri-urban households. If you're in Kenya and looking for a larger solar installation (1 kW+), you'll need to work with a local solar installer instead.
