Eco-friendly-harnessed from solar energy. Dapod Maad. A village located deep in the hearts of Maharashtra, on the forest fringe. Electricity has not reached the village as yet. Due to lack of proper lighting, the socio-economic condition of the area is very poor. By the time they complete their daily chores, evening approaches and they are left with no option but to operate at dusk, this has a serious impact on their productivity as most of the activities after sunsets are carried out under kerosene lights. Unhealthy fumes of kerosene lights adversely affect the villagers' health, and low luminosity weakens their eyesight. However, establishing of Solar Lanterns has started changing the situation, by providing the villagers clean and high-intensity lighting. The lanterns are mainly being used for domestic purposes. Due to proper lighting facilities, students are able to study in the tutorials, as well as at home, during night hours. The lantern is also contributing towards reducing women's drudgery, as they have the opportunity to do more productive work after sunset under improved lighting conditions. The use of lanterns has also reduced indoor air pollution, thereby reducing the ill effects on the community's health, especially of children and women Superior batteries.
The Sun King sets the gold standard for solar lantern energy storage with its state-of-the-art lithium-polymer battery. Unlike alternatives that use cheaper, shorter-lifetime lead acid or nickel-cadmium batteries, the Sun King is truly built to last for years, maintenance-free.About the Author:
