At the 139th Canton Fair, which was held from April 15 to 19, 2026, clean energy innovator BLUETTI presented an integrated Pay-As-You-Go energy solution, dubbed PAYGO. The innovation combines the company's proprietary BLUETTI GO digital distribution platform with a range of PAYGO-enabled solar home systems. This solution is designed for emerging markets, particularly across Africa.
The Pay-As-You-Go energy offering allows consumers to access electricity services through installment-based payments and remote device management. It reduces the barrier of high upfront costs while providing distributors with tools for sales tracking, inventory control, credit profiling, overdue payment monitoring, risk assessment, and operational analysis.
BLUETTI's product lineup for this solution includes entry-level solar home systems such as the P80 with 76.8 watt-hours of battery capacity, the African Star with 1728 watt-hours, and the higher-capacity Home Star series, ranging from two to five kilowatt-hours for off-grid household energy storage, all of which can be deployed independently or bundled with appliances like televisions, fans, and lighting equipment.
