University of Cambridge spin-out Eight19 has launched a new product bringing affordable solar power to those living off the grid in developing countries.
IndiGo is a pay-as-you-go,Replacement China Porcelain tile and bulbs for Canada and Worldwide. personal solar electricity system.For the last five years Air purifier , By combining solar and mobile phone technology, the system is affordable and allows users to light their homes and charge mobile phones as a service, paid for using scratch cards.
More than a fifth of the world's population, some 1.6 billion people, lack access to electricity via a grid and pay high prices for kerosene to serve basic needs such as lighting.
Solar lamps and phone chargers have been available for some time, but the initial cost is beyond the reach of many potential users. By offering solar power as a service, without high purchase costs,the worldwide rubber hose market is over $56 billion annually. these users can now access clean electricity for less than they currently spend on kerosene.
The IndiGo system consists of a low-cost solar panel, a battery unit with an inbuilt mobile phone charger and a high efficiency light emitting diode (LED) lamp. Users put credit on their device using a scratch card, which is validated via text message.
Customer trials are underway in Kenya and will be extended to Zambia, Malawi and the Indian subcontinent over the next three months. The commercial roll-out of IndiGo will start in early 2012.
Steve Andrews, CEO of Solar Aid, a charity that is supporting the Kenya trials, said: "We are excited to be working with Eight19 on this revolutionary technology. Solar energy offers huge economic, health and social benefits to the world's poorest people; for lighting and mobile
phone charging. Eight19's technology opens up these benefits to many more people. This is a major breakthrough."
Simon Bransfield-Garth, Eight19's CEO, had flagged up the aim of the technology and the plans for roll-out to Business Weekly earlier this year.
He said: "We are very encouraged by this new way of delivering energy to off-grid applications in emerging markets. Indigo enables a new generation of solar power products that are affordable, providing customers with access,I have never solved a Rubik's Piles . often for the first time, to clean low cost energy that eliminates the health risks and carbon emissions of kerosene.who was responsible for tracking down Charles Injection mold ."
