On campus
The Gridless Scholar
in the wild.
From lecture halls to outdoor study spots — the ChargeBot turns any location into a fully powered workspace.
Students generate solar power, earn free data rewards through the SOLAPS App, and their daily engagement retires the contract cost. Your university facilitates the programme and owns everything at the end. No generators. No capex. No debt from institutional funds.
No upfront payment required · Asset ownership at contract close · Zero infrastructure investment

The Smart Campus Initiative delivers the most value to universities where the power problem is real, the student impact is measurable, and institutional budget for hardware is unavailable. If this describes your campus, this was built for you.
Your campus loses more than 4 hours of reliable grid power per day. Students are losing study time and productivity every week.
Your university cannot fund a large hardware programme. You need a model that costs nothing upfront and generates its own repayment.
Power and data costs are among your top student complaints. You need a tangible, visible intervention that improves campus life.
Your institution has sustainability reporting obligations or ranking aspirations that a distributed solar deployment directly supports.
Not the right fit if: your campus has reliable 24-hour power, you are looking for fixed solar infrastructure, or you need a programme that can launch without student engagement as the revenue mechanism.
The ChargeBot is not just a backpack — it is a mobile micro-grid. Each Whole Product Package gives a student the power to generate, store, study, and earn — entirely off the campus grid.
Monocrystalline 15W panel (6V x 2.5A) integrated into a rugged campus backpack with a 10,000mAh IATA-compliant powerbank. Charges smartphones, tablets, and laptops all day, off-grid.
4-hour rechargeable battery lamp charged from the backpack powerbank. Solar power from the day lights the night. No generator required.
IoT dashboard tracking solar generation in real time. Students earn SolarCoins for daily engagement, redeemable for MTN, Airtel, and Glo data bundles and airtime.
Live visibility of registration, SolarCoin activity, solar generation data, and ESG carbon reduction metrics for sustainability reporting and asset transfer tracking.
The Smart Campus model is designed so your university never pays upfront and ends the year owning a permanent solar asset portfolio.
A one-year lease-to-own contract. No upfront payment. SOLAPS retains ownership during the contract year while your university deploys and manages the units.
3,500 ChargeBot Whole Product Packages delivered ahead of resumption. Suggested split: STEM students (40%), financial aid recipients (30%), campus residents (20%), faculty (10%).
Students earn SolarCoins through daily app engagement. That engagement generates platform revenue applied monthly toward the contract value. Full retirement projected by Month 4.
Once the contract value is recovered through student engagement revenue, SOLAPS issues a Notice of Transfer. All 3,500 units become permanent university property.
From lecture halls to outdoor study spots — the ChargeBot turns any location into a fully powered workspace.
The Smart Campus initiative addresses real challenges facing Nigerian universities today — from power instability to digital access to sustainability reporting.
No civil works, no fixed installations, no maintenance budget. ChargeBot units are distributed as personal student assets.
Live Energy Ledger data provides auditable carbon reduction metrics ready for institutional sustainability reports and global university rankings.
Directly addresses power outages and data costs — the two most common student complaints — improving academic outcomes.
At contract close your university owns 3,500 solar backpacks and study lamps outright — a tangible asset that continues serving students beyond the contract year.
3,500 x 15W units generate 52,500W of distributed solar capacity daily — meaningful renewable energy contribution with no grid dependency.
SOLAPS assigns a dedicated liaison and runs monthly joint sessions using the Crossing the Chasm framework to ensure adoption targets are met.
SOLAPS's inaugural Smart Campus partnership is currently in deployment with Kola Daisi University, Oyo State — the first Nigerian university to adopt the ChargeBot Whole Product Package at scale.
We are selecting a limited number of university partners for the next deployment cohort. Register your institution's interest and a member of the SOLAPS team will be in touch within 2 business days.
Your details are shared only with the SOLAPS team. We will never pass your information to third parties.
