Narrowed down from thousands of nominations by industry experts, the top 100 are considered the companies most likely to make the greatest impact on the market in the next 5-10 years. The list is produced as part of the Global Cleantech 100 program, run by the UK-based Cleantech Group in collaboration with The Guardian and sponsored by Autodesk. Winners are featured in The Guardian and at Cleantech Forums in the US and UK.

As the final object, the solar-powered lamp was selected as an object that reflects the world in 2010 and the big issues confronting today’s global society. While the BBC does not mention d.light by name, they are using none other than the D.LIGHT S200 to exemplify the object. In fact, the S200 is on exhibit in the British Museum now as part of a special exhibit! We are thrilled at this international recognition of the importance of sustainable energy solutions for bottom-of-the-pyramid households in the 21st century! See the unveiling of the S200 as the 100th object here.   D.LIGHT S250 Now Available for Sale in the US through Amazon The D.LIGHT S250, our second generation premium solar lantern and mobile charger, is now available for sale to customers in the US through Amazon.

He regularly experiences 12-hour power cuts in his village, which would force him to close his shop early at least three days a week. Mr. Lahu Bajirao Tarade, a d.light rural entrepreneur, saw the challenges that Mr. Sapkal experienced in keeping his saloon open in the evenings without any light. Our rural entrepreneur lent the saloon owner his own Kiran S10 to try for several days. Very soon after, Mr. Sapkal became the proud owner of a Kiran. He was able to recoup the cost of his Kiran in only 10 days, thanks to the greater number of customers he was able to see every day, and is enjoying a higher income than he previously had. He also enjoys using the Kiran in his home and farm after business hours. Here's to one more life changed in India!     Can't get enough d.light news?
