I initially took an around the world trip and saw many people living in poverty without electricity. I decided to leverage my knowledge of technology to bring innovative technology project enabled by solar to reduce poverty. Providing opportunity has always been important to me. Covid has opened up doors for us to empower people in the US.

We build tech-enabled, luxury pods powered by the sun ☀️
Antonio Dixon first founded SolarFi with the purpose of enabling SME growth (especially women-led) in Africa through portable and mobile solar-powered carts.
Due to the challenges posed by COVID, we pivoted from solar powered carts in Africa to Privé pods. Prive pods offer our clients a one-stop solution for safe, elegant, and socially-distanced space while gathering outdoors.
Our pods have been popular among restaurants, events & colleges. Our customers have included Eataly NYC, Rosa Mexicano, NY Fashion Week & more.
We also launched the first solar-powered pop up bar with University of Alabama at the Magic City Classic football game!
