What DigitalKap does

DigitalKap Solar is a privately held Haitian solar energy EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) and technology consulting firm headquartered at 412 Autoroute de Delmas 48 in Port-au-Prince. Founded in 2011 (with its first commercial solar street light installed in 2018), the company designs, procures, sells, installs, and maintains solar photovoltaic systems for residential, commercial, healthcare, education, government, and nonprofit customers across Haiti. Its offering is delivered through a BigCommerce-powered online storefront that aggregates multiple hardware brands—LAC Solar, MAXX, Outback, and Trojan—alongside its own Energy24 product line of pre-configured solar kits ranging from 500W to 3,000W, complemented by inverters (500W-6kW), MPPT and PWM charge controllers (30A-100A), lithium/gel/flooded batteries, solar water pumps, and LED street lights.

The company operates a multi-channel go-to-market: a product-led e-commerce site for self-serve retail purchases (with Klarna consumer financing), inside sales via phone/WhatsApp/email, and field-based enterprise sales for turnkey commercial and institutional installations. Pricing is publicly disclosed per unit, with solar kits priced between $225 and $1,930 and individual components ranging from $40 for a 30A PWM controller up to $1,700 for a 3HP solar water pump. Revenue is generated from hardware sales, bundled kit sales, and professional services (site evaluation, engineering, installation, and ongoing maintenance).

In July 2021 DigitalKap launched sister company So-Mob, Haiti's first electric-powered motorcycle venture, extending the group's footprint into sustainable e-mobility. The company has been recognized as the Best Solar Installations and Maintenance Company in Haiti for 2019 and maintains strategic relationships with Global Giving/NRG Energy, Habitat for Humanity, and Global Green for humanitarian deployments. DigitalKap operates with a small team (approximately ten employees) and has not disclosed any external funding.

Direct peers

• Fenix International: Pay-as-you-go solar home system distributor in Uganda (acquired by ENGIE). Comparable product bundle, financing model, and emerging-market off-grid focus.
• BBOXX: UK-based distributed solar and smart energy provider operating across Africa and Asia with pay-as-you-go financing. Comparable turnkey solar-kit offering and emerging-market operating model.
• Yellow: Pay-as-you-go solar home system provider serving Central America (Nicaragua, Colombia, Guatemala). Most direct geographic and business-model comparable to DigitalKap: distributed off-grid solar in a Latin American emerging market with a pay-over-time model.
• Sun King (Greenlight Planet): Global leader in pay-as-you-go off-grid solar, distributing solar home systems and appliances in Africa and Asia. Comparable on product mix, pay-over-time financing, and under-electrified customer base.
• d.light: Designs, distributes, and finances off-grid solar products across Africa and Asia. Comparable product breadth (panels, batteries, lighting, appliances) and emerging-market distribution model, though at materially larger scale.
• M-KOPA: Pay-as-you-go off-grid solar provider in East Africa selling solar home systems on installment plans. Highly comparable model: turnkey kits, consumer financing, and focus on under-electrified households — analogous to DigitalKap's Klarna-financed Energy24 kits.
• Zola Electric (formerly Off Grid Electric): Off-grid solar provider in sub-Saharan Africa (notably Tanzania) offering pay-as-you-go home systems. Closely comparable in customer profile and product design, despite African rather than Caribbean focus.

Broad incumbents

• Sunrun: Largest US residential solar installer. Comparable on residential rooftop solar EPC and consumer financing, but operates in a regulated US market with grid-tied (not off-grid) economics at much larger scale.
• Tesla Energy: Global solar generation and storage provider (Solar Roof, Powerwall). Comparable on integrated solar-plus-storage product strategy and direct-to-consumer distribution, but operates at vastly larger scale and primarily grid-tied.

Emerging players

• PowerGen Renewable Energy: East African mini-grid and rooftop solar developer. Comparable on renewable EPC and off-grid electrification, but operates at mini-grid utility scale rather than distributed residential retail.
