Jeremy reels off an impressive list of health, educational and financial benefits that are achieved through using our small, hand-held solar lamps rather than the dangerous, toxic and expensive Kerosene alternatives. He mentions our fantastic sales figures this year: up from 40,000 solar lamps last year to well over 300,000 in 2012 – with the aim to top a million next year.
The World Bank’s Lighting Africa project has confirmed that we have a 25% share of the solar energy market in Africa and Jeremy goes on to explain the advantages of creating a market rather than simply providing aid.
