One of the most transformative technologies that has yet to reach those who need it most is a solar light. An estimated 1.1 billion people – 14% of the global population – do not have access to electricity. They have to rely on kerosene or other dangerous forms of fuel that are a fire hazard and threaten smoke inhalation damage. A solar light can be a boon to off-grid families in need so they can live safer, brighter and more productive lives Solar Light Products The Sun King Pico GoSun's Fusion has been getting plenty of buzz for its ability to cook food with solar energy even when the Sun is down. But you still need to see what you're doing if solar night cooking is your thing. And those LED headlamps definitely don't use solar energy. But the Sun King Pico does. This is a solar-panel powered light with a 360-degree tilt. The Pico is compact and reliable, providing up to 72 hours of light from a full charge. 5x brighter than kerosene Integrated sol...

More huge index fund firms are moving away from fossil fuel investments and toward those funds that will help fight climate change. Chief among them is BlackRock Inc., operating in more than 30 countries and is one of the biggest holders of most U.S. publicly traded companies. In January it joined Climate Action 100+, a group of hundreds of investment managers that have $41 trillion in assets. “Climate change has become a defining factor in companies’ long-term prospects,” Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink wrote in his annual letter to corporate executives. “Awareness is rapidly changing, and I believe we are on the edge of a fundamental reshaping of finance.” Initiatives that Fink outlined in his letterincluded focusing more on sustainability in portfolio construction and risk management; leaving investments that present a high sustainability-related risk (such as coal investments); supporting investment products that screen fossil fuels; and comm...

Smartphones, even if at 100 percent battery, can go dead in a day, which is far less time than it takes for the power grid to be restored in the worst natural disasters. With that in mind, here are solar-powered devices we recommended using to make sure your cell phone has endless battery life. Some of these solar phone chargers will top off your phone. Others produce enough electricity to power your phone, lights, and even a battery-powered cooler. Here are the best solar phone chargers to get you through the next power outage. Read the full article, because we think the best solution is the final one. SolarFlex 10 The GoSun SolarFlex 10 is a solar cell phone charger that easily folds up and produces an incredible amount of electricity to charge all your USB devices. It can charge up your phone with its built-in USB port as fast at your plug-in outlet. The Flex is perfect for charging your devices using nothing but sunshine. Under full sun, this will charge about at fast ...

GoSun is trying to accelerate the technological growth of solar cookers (and we like to think we're doing a pretty good job, as do others). While we always try to look forward, it pays to look back once in a while. And you can't look without your vision being obscured by the "Godzilla of Solar Ovens," built in 1949. Here's the description: Constructed in 1949 in the citadel of Mont-Louis in the French Pyrenees, this double-mirror solar furnace concentrated the sun’s rays to melt just about anything that wandered into its 3,000 °C beam. Engineer Félix Trombe [shown below] designed the solar furnace and used it for high-temperature experiments on materials and to demonstrate how to fire ceramics without using wood. The oven is still in operation. In 1975 it was moved from the center of the citadel to a place near the city walls. It is now only used for educational purposes and, on sunny days, can concentrate 50 kilowatts of solar energy into an area of...
