Portable Rechargeable LED Lights Benefit General Public

India's largest women’s organization "All India Women's Conference" based on community, community solar charging stations is charging portable LED lamp(Solar Powered Portable Generator) during the day, take the opportunity for people to back home from work lamp, provide home lighting several days night.

Since solar panels cost of implementation is still a threshold, therefore through common ways of cooperation or community to raise funds, may have the opportunity to build a common charging stations; and let people hire lantern, equal to retail with cheap price to people who need electricity, so that more people can get it. Community women are trained as equipment maintenance technician, whereby plans for pay.

Not only the All India Women's Association, and Barefoot College, with many cooperatives independent operations to promote similar things at the same time. The reason why solar lamps much promotion in India, as India is well known to promote environmental think-tank TERI in long term--- "light of millions of people" program, successfully attracted the British government and other foreign countries to donor. Of course, solar panel prices have fallen, and with the emergence of LED lamps, it is the main reason to let everyone enjoy the light.

Integrate solar became new focus

On the other hand, the industry has invented a small solar modules with LED lighting, special sales in a lack of power region in Africa. The first generation of LED light, photovoltaic panels isn small, but fully charged battery can supply 20 hours of illumination, the second-generation products have up to 36 hours of illumination. Incidentally, this set of equipment can also supply cell phone charge, mobile phone penetration rate in Africa is rapidly improving recent years, people can use their mobile phones to communicate with the world, the consumption of electricity is also much less than the computer.

SunSawang social enterprises in Thailand has found the special business model. The Thai government has helped more than 200,000 households to install solar systems( and this is a portable solar power generator, so it’s

convenient for people to take), which without electricity in suburbs in early 2004 . While it has no maintenance plan, so that up to ninety percent of the device is no longer available, residents were forced to go back to using candles, oil lamps. In early start of SunSawang , the main work is the maintenance of solar equipment have been abandoned by government. They try to training community technicians, and then gradually develop different service projects, such as the equipment maintenance, rental Solar LED lights, or the installation of new equipment to support small solar home basic appliances during one-year .

Philippines "A Liter of Light” program that perhaps you have seen on the web, it is to add bleach empty plastic bottles, tin roofs installed, introduce the daylight to dim indoors, also known as the "solar bottle". It is useful for the construction of dense slum communities, and helped dozens of global households. From 2013, the team plans to promote solar plastic bottles that combine solar panels, plus LED lights inside, installed on the roof together, which introduce natural light during the day, provide hours of artificial light at night.

Solar LED lamps emit light may seem weak in our eyes , but it has inspired the development of independent energy community, to create green-collar jobs and business opportunities, make millions, tens of millions of people to read at night or woven, hand-made, and supplement the family income, then they are closer to seeking a better life step by step.
