GOGLA leads the implementation of the Consumer Protection Code across the off-grid solar sector, with the aim of safeguarding positive industry impact and respecting the rights of consumers. We believe that widespread industry action on consumer protection is required to mitigate sector risks and accelerate market growth. The Consumer Protection Code now also includes a comprehensive assessment framework to help companies and investors do more to measure, monitor and improve standards of consumer protection.

What is the Consumer Protection Code

The Consumer Protection Code consists of a set of principles and an assessment framework to enable companies to measure, demonstrate and improve their practices, and provide investors and other stakeholders with a framework to promote good practice. The code establishes the de facto industry standard for consumer protection that adds value to off-grid solar companies, investors and other stakeholders.

Principles & Indicators

The six Consumer Protection Principles set the minimum standards of practice, and are the foundation of the CP Code. The principles have been defined by GOGLA’s Consumer Protection Working Group, with contributions from companies, investors and other stakeholders.
