Activity Description: In partnership with WWF Lao Program Office, Sunlabob Rural Energy Systems provides electricity to rural households in Lao PDR through affordable and reliable solar electricity rental services.

Sunlabob's rental model provides the benefits of solar lighting to rural customers, including increased productivity and educational opportunity, while removing the burden of purchasing the equipment, and guaranteeing regular servicing. Risk is transferred from the consumer to Sunlabob, as the latter do not pay for electricity when it is not available.

The project's service delivery mechanism will create local jobs and Sunlabob plans to train local hires to conduct financial and technical tracking.

A 2005 Development Marketplace winner, the project aims to operate 120 new solar systems in at least 10 new villages.
