Solar Tuki

Solar Tuki

The Solar Tuki is a portable solar lamp unit with white LED bulbs designedto provide rural Nepal with an alternative to traditional kerosene tukis,their main current source of night-time illumination. One benefit is theelimination of fumes and smoke. Another is the elimination of fuelwhich has to be purchased on an ongoing basis.

This project was granted a World Bank Development Marketplace Award.
