Some 85% of Awango by Total product users say their lamp has significantly improved their daily lives and that they would like to see new functions and new uses. Total is therefore working on combining solar panels, energy storage and the ability to use household appliances such as fans.

Total launched the Awango by Total program in 2012 to market solar lamps providing affordable access to energy for communities in emerging economies. Nearly two billion people do not have access to electricity. To help remedy that, the Group set an objective of improving the daily lives of five million people by selling one million Awango by Total solar lamps by 2015. This goal has been met and exceeded: by May of this year, one million solar lamps had been sold in Africa alone. Awango by Total is based on social business model and will be distributed in more than 30 countries by end-2015.
