## Elevator Pitch
ENCO is a social energy startup that implements community-based solar systems in vulnerable urban spaces. We combine decentralized solar technology with local leadership to expand energy access, reduce costs, and enable education and community development

## Climate Problem
ENCO addresses unequal access to clean energy in vulnerable urban communities, reducing dependence on fossil-based electricity while strengthening local resilience through decentralized solar energy systems.

## Solution
ENCO deploys portable, self-installable solar modules in libraries, community kitchens, and grassroots spaces, combining decentralized clean energy with local training to reduce energy costs and expand community activities.

## Revenue Model
Revenue will come from direct sales of portable solar modules, installation services, partnerships with NGOs and companies, and sponsored community energy projects.

## Target Market
Community organizations, NGOs, schools, libraries, grassroots spaces, and vulnerable urban communities needing affordable and decentralized energy access.

## Social Impact
Migrants, People Living in Extreme Poverty, Women

## Demand Evidence
Demand has been validated through pilot projects, partnerships with NGOs and community groups, and increasing interest in affordable solar solutions due to rising energy costs and energy insecurity.

## Competitors
Competitors include traditional solar providers focused on residential or commercial markets. Few offer portable, community-centered solar solutions combined with local participation and social impact.

## Founder Expertise
Experience coordinating energy access projects in the Amazon, renewable energy and community innovation initiatives, and winner of the UN IFAD Rural Innovation Award for renewable energy solutions.

## External Support
Received support through the Kunan Prize 2025, NESsT mentorship, grant opportunities, community partnerships, and recognition as finalists in innovation and social impact competitions in Peru.
