Solar What?!

Solar-powered light and charger

Off-grid solar products offer many benefits to those living in energy poverty, but when disposed of prematurely and improperly they represent significant material and energy waste. Solar What?! challenges this waste, offering a solar product with adaptability and sustainability at its core. Research-based, the device is designed around existing repair cultures, ensuring continued access to energy for the user. Solar What?! reuses solar panels, utilizes locally available batteries, and is easy to disassemble and repair with common tools. We believe that providing affordable, clean energy can also promote responsible design, production, and consumption.
