Clean Energy Financing for Smallholder Farms and Homes
Powering Smallholder Prosperity with Renewable Energy
Agri-pay is revolutionizing rural energy access by making solar irrigation systems, clean cookstoves, and biogas solutions affordable and accessible to smallholder farmers. Through tailored financing, we help farming households adopt productive, reliable, and climate-smart technologies that boost yields, reduce costs, and improve living standards.
We believe energy poverty is one of the greatest barriers to agricultural transformation. That’s why we’ve built a financing model that brings clean energy directly to the people growing Uganda’s food—on terms that work for them.
What we finance
Solar Irrigation Systems
Rainfall is no longer reliable. Yet only 6% of Uganda’s smallholder farmers use irrigation. Agri-pay offers solar-powered drip and sprinkler irrigation systems, financed through flexible payment plans. These systems:
-
Enable year-round farming and higher productivity
-
Reduce labor and water waste
-
Improve income stability and climate resilience
Clean Cookstoves
Over 90% of rural households rely on traditional biomass for cooking, leading to health risks, deforestation, and time lost collecting firewood. Agripay finances efficient cookstoves that:
-
Reduce firewood use by up to 60%
-
Lower indoor air pollution
-
Save time and improve family health
Biogas Digesters
Animal waste can become a clean, renewable fuel. Our biogas loans help households install digesters that:
-
Produce gas for cooking and lighting
-
Reduce dependence on wood and charcoal
-
Generate organic slurry for use as fertilizer
Our Model: Finance First, Impact Always
-
We partner with trusted solar and clean tech providers to deliver high-quality, durable products, then offer financing through:
-
Pay-as-you-grow or harvest-linked repayment schedules
-
Cooperative guarantees and produce-backed lending
-
Bundled packages with pre-season financing or instant-pay tools
-
This model ensures farmers can adopt technology without the burden of large upfront costs, while still getting support for training, installation, and maintenance.
