This presentation is about the 11 solar projects that are making an impact on the developing world

3. 1. Eliodomestico Solar Still
This award-winning solar household still was developed by
Gabriele Diamanti, an Industrial Designer.
He designed this solar domestic apparatus for developing
countries with limited or no access to fresh drinking water.
The solar apparatus produces up to 5 liters of water per day.
Amazing?
I think this man is generous enough to come up with something
like this or should I say he’s a pure genius?

4. 2. LuminAID Light
The founders of LuminAID, Anna Stork and Andrea
Shreshta, came up with this idea of a solar-inflatable light when an
earthquake hit Haiti back then in 2010.
The light has been designed for those people who have been
affected by disasters, crises and conflicts.
In the past years, the light has been used in humanitarian relief in
the wake of the hurricanes Isaac and Sandy.

5. 3. Sun King Greenlight Planet
This line of products from Sun King are the most useful solar
powered built-in mobile charging unit.
This device come with high-performance batteries that can last up
to 5 years, and either a real-time LCD or LED screen displaying
the feedback for power.

6. 4. Artificial Leaf
This “artificial leaf”, is a silicon wafer that mimics real leaves by
creating energy from sunlight and water.
An amazing fact is that when you put one of them in a quarter of
water, it can provide up to 100 watts of energy per day.
This idea is of a biochemist named Daniel Nocera.

7. 5. Panasonic Solar LED Lantern
This solar LED lantern was revealed
giant, Panasonic, back in October 2013.

8. 6. SunSaluter
This device was invented by Eden Full, a 21 years old
undergraduate from Princeton University.
The usefulness of this device is that it rotates solar panels toward
the sun throughout the day and that too without a motor.
It is an inexpensive device which can be built by anyone!

9. 7. Portable Light Project
This project enables people in developing countries to create
energy-harvesting textiles which they can adapt to their own
needs.
For example, people can weave the flexible photovoltaic cells into
bags they carry around during the day, harvesting sunlight, and
open it up to light their homes at night

10. 8. D.light S20
This device has been created to replace kerosene lamps in offgrid households.
It is user-friendly, and most of all, it is functional for a wide range
of people.

11. 9. ReadySet Power System
This system was originally designed for African entrepreneurs, by
the Fenix International based at San- Francisco.
The rugged power system is able to generate the most power at
the lowest cost.
It can power lights, radios and mobile phones with only 8-10 hours
of charging in direct sunlight.

12. 10. Sunwater
This solar irrigation system is geared towards poor farmers. It was
led by its founder Paul Polak.
This irrigation system brings water to
plot, increasing cash crops and, in turn, income
a
one-hectare

13. 11. Gravity Light
This device is slightly different than the others on this list. This is
because it uses solar energy as backup instead as a primary
source.
It has raised nearly $400,000 on Indiegogo.

14. Bonus: SOCCKET
This is just too cool not to include on this list. It is a soccer ball
that doesn’t use solar energy.
The ball is slightly heavier than a regular soccer ball.
30 minutes of play with it, can power a LED light for more than
three hours.
