<div id="ember55" class="ember-view organization-about-module__content-consistant-cards-description">Sub-Saharan Africa is in the middle of a power crisis, with large portions of the population not having access to electricity. Businesses and consumers who do have access to the grid, often have to deal with daily power outages which can last up to several days. Most businesses across Sub-Saharan Africa rely on expensive and polluting diesel generators to bridge the supply-demand gap of electricity. Daystar Power focuses on hybrid solar power solutions for commercial customers for either a cash sale or a monthly fee. Daystar Power delivers three significant benefits to its customers: 1) reducing the cost of energy, 2) providing a stable power supply and 3) reducing pollution.</div>
