Its core offerings are Mossie-GO™, a portable palm-sized fan device that disperses Transfluthrin vapor via replaceable 30-night refill coins to repel and kill mosquitoes, and the Solar Fishing Light, a durable solar-powered lamp and life buoy that replaces kerosene lighting for nighttime fishing. Products are sold through a global distributor network, with optional 5W solar panel bundles for charging via micro-USB.

Emerging players

• SolarAid: SolarAid is a non-profit social enterprise tackling energy poverty through solar products in Africa. Comparable on mission-driven off-grid solar consumer products, though operating as a non-profit rather than a commercial company.
• Fenix International (ENGIE): Fenix International provides pay-as-you-go solar home systems in Uganda and other African markets. Comparable on off-grid solar consumer products and emerging-market distribution, now operating under ENGIE.
• Zola Electric (formerly Off Grid Electric): Zola Electric offers solar home systems and energy storage to off-grid customers in Africa. Comparable on off-grid solar consumer products, with a stronger focus on larger home systems and storage than SolarMed's portable devices.

Broad incumbents

• SC Johnson (Raid/Mortien): SC Johnson is a global consumer goods incumbent with major mosquito and insect repellent brands (Raid, Mortien, Autan). Comparable on the mosquito-protection end-market, but operates as a broad FMCG incumbent rather than a solar-powered off-grid specialist.
• Signify (Philips Lighting): Signify is the global lighting incumbent (Philips Lighting) producing consumer and professional lighting products. Comparable on the lighting product category for the solar fishing light, but not focused on off-grid emerging markets.

Direct peers

• BioLite: BioLite makes solar-powered lighting, energy storage, and clean cookstoves for off-grid and outdoor consumers in emerging markets. Closely comparable on solar-powered consumer hardware, durability, and dual household-plus-livelihood use cases.
• Greenlight Planet (Sun King): Greenlight Planet sells pay-as-you-go solar lanterns and home systems to off-grid households primarily in Africa and South Asia. Directly comparable distribution model and target customer base, with a broader scaled product portfolio.
• M-KOPA: M-KOPA offers pay-as-you-go solar home systems and connected devices to off-grid customers primarily in East Africa. Comparable on financing-led distribution and emerging-market customer base, though with broader home-system offerings.
• d.light: d.light designs and distributes affordable solar-powered lanterns, home systems, and consumer devices for off-grid households in Africa and Asia. Directly comparable to SolarMed on off-grid solar-powered consumer products and emerging-market distribution model.
• BBOXX: BBOXX provides solar home systems and clean energy products to off-grid households across Africa. Comparable on solar consumer hardware and emerging-market distribution, with a more developed pay-as-you-go financing infrastructure.
