GOGLA, in collaboration with Lighting Global, are excited to invite you to the 7th edition of the Global Off-Grid Solar Forum and Expo, 18 - 20 October 2022 in Kigali, Rwanda.
The Global Off-Grid Solar Forum and Expo is the premier meeting of the off-grid solar sector providing a unique platform for knowledge exchange, networking and showcasing off-grid solar products and services.
The event aims to accelerate the development of the global off-grid solar market contributing to achieving universal energy access by 2030.
The previous edition of the event was held in February 2020 in Nairobi. It was officially opened by H.E. The President of the Republic of Kenya Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta and saw over 1,250 participants from 75 countries, 80 exhibitors and over 80 government officials attending.
As part of our deepening collaboration with governments and development partners, this year we are expanding our focus to relevant neighboring sectors and are thinking more broadly as to how off-grid solar can contribute to household needs beyond energy access.

GOGLA is the global association for the off-grid solar energy industry. We are proud to champion one of the world’s most innovative and impactful sectors. Hundreds of millions of people already benefit from affordable, high-quality, clean off-grid solar products and services. With the right support, our pioneering industry will be able to scale up rapidly to improve the lives of 1 billion people by 2030. To help make this happen, we promote, safeguard, and convene the industry, advocating for enabling policies and increased investment as well as supporting our 200+ members with effective services.

Lighting Global is the World Bank Group’s initiative to rapidly increase access to off-grid solar energy for the 789 million people living without electricity world-wide. Managed by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), we work with governments, the private sector, development partners, and end-users, continually innovating to unlock key market barriers and enable access and affordability to those that would otherwise be left behind. Our support has expanded to technologies that go far beyond lighting, including systems to power the needs of households, businesses, schools, and health centers.
