The Project:

• SOLAR 2000 was developed by Stefan Skriwan and Siegfried Popp, Marcus Eder was largely involved with the electronics.
• SOLAR 2000 is a simple and durable solar lamp.
• SOLAR 2000 can be produced without an expensive workshop and produced in devloping countries.
• SOLAR 2000 comes with rechargeable batteries that can be recharged with a solar panel.
• SOLAR 2000 has an outlet that a radio can be plugged into.

• The solar lamp was developed exclusively for the implementation in developing countries and will soon be produced at the solar workshop from the Solar Technology project in Mpwapwa, Tanzania.
• This concept envisions a robust product, that can be produced with simple tools and assistance and eventually without electricity.
• A recharging center for 10 lamps was then developed.
• An aluminium tool box was then developed for the completion of lamps, which include all the necessary tools, assisting guides and measuring devices.
• At a later date, solar lamps will be produced in combination with other development aid projects.
