VISIONOur goal is to put renewable energy solutions literally in the hands of millions of people world wide – bringing clean and affordable energy to every person who needs it regardless of geography or economic standing.
We achieve this in two ways:
RETAIL SALES
You can find our family of Solio products including the Solio BOLT and CLIP-MINI at retailers such as RadioShack, REI, Sprint, Amazon, MEC, Apple and others.
SOLAR AS SERVICE
In rural Kenya, our solar leasing business provides households with a less expensive and healthier power solution for lights, radios, and cell phone charging.
Our Enemies:
- Fuel Based Lighting
- Single-use Batteries
- The Wall Outlet
It is estimated that fuel-based lighting throughout the world consumes 1.3 million barrels of oil per day. This form of lighting cause health issues, is extremely costly and dangerous.
Americans throw out almost 166,000 tons of single-use batteries each year! Batteries contain toxic heavy metals, and when improperly disposed of, they contaminate the environment.
Many of us take for granted the unlimited “free” power supply provided by wall outlets, that is until…we canʼt find an outlet to plug into! It proves difficult to keep “mobile” devices actually mobile, when there arenʼt charging solutions readily available.
It doesnʼt need to be this way – SOLIO is the solution!
