Noctisolar Ecolight: light to hope Noctisolar Ecolight: luz a la esperanza

The project started in Spain in 1999 with the collaboration of a company from the T-SOL sector and Fundación Tierra, with the following objectives: Provide a response using low-cost, high-efficiency solar technology to the problem of domestic lighting in areas without electrification. More than 1,000 million individuals do not have access to electricity for lighting, having to use systems such as liquid fuels (kerosene, oil, etc.) that create air quality problems inside homes. – Design a portable solar lamp to withstand the harshest environmental conditions that provides the maximum amount of light possible. – Create a product demanded by the cooperating NGOs, given the lack of high-performance solar lighting systems. The project ended in 2004 due to the bankruptcy of the T-SOL company and the lack of projection and economic resources.
