Reeddi Capsule, solar powered portable battery

Reeddi Capsule, portable battery powered by solar energy, made by Reeddi, designed in Canada, manufactured in Asia for use in Nigeria, 2021.

This Reeddi capsule is a portable solar powered battery that people can rent to charge their electronic devices. The object is representative of the type used by both individuals and businesses in Nigeria – by November 2021, 600 households and businesses in Lagos were using Reeddi capsules every month to access sustainable and clean energy at an affordable price. The capsule is a lithium ion battery charged at local solar facilities and rented at corner stores for a fee of 50 cents a day. The individual capsule is too expensive for most people to buy outright (at a cost of 361.88 US dollars), and so the rental model is part of the solution.
