The SolSource is a lightweight solar energy device that provides users with a low-cost and portable means of cooking, heating and electricity generation. Co-designed with rural Himalayan communities, the SolSource eliminates many of the complications associated with burning solid fuels, including harmful indoor air pollution, gender inequities and greenhouse gas emissions. Globally, 2.5 billion people rely on solid fuels for their daily energy needs, resulting in more than 1.6 million deaths per year and making indoor air pollution a leading cause of mortality for children under 5 in developing regions of the world. Combining advanced technology with user-centered design, the SolSource represents an exciting new design solution for communities and individuals everywhere.
