Sunlabob had submitted the Solar Lamps with central charging station. Our test-runs and calculations show that the fees the households pay for recharging the exchangeable solar lamps are comparable or even cheaper than what they spend for kerosene in the lamps they presently use. We are very proud to be able to achieve this without any direct subsidies, and we are proud that this solution has been developed in the field in Laos and is now internationally recognized as a breakthrough for photovoltaics in remote rural areas anywhere on the planet. We will use the prize money to purchase further charging stations and solar lamps for villages in Laos. The demand is very high for them. See the prospectus for the solar lamps solution.
