In the 31 countries where our lamps have been sold so far–often through networks of empowered local entrepreneurs–we estimate that ~10 million people now enjoy clean, bright light, free of the indoor air pollution and the recurring expense of kerosene lamps and candles.
Greenlight’s Sun King™ line of solar lanterns are regarded in our industry as setting the standard for robust, attractive, yet affordable product design. Since 2010, Sun King™ lanterns have won three best product awards from the World Bank and IFC’s global Lighting Global Outstanding Product Quality Awards, and numerous other accolades from organizations including Deutsche Bank, the Lemelson Foundation and Ashoka. Greenlight is at the precipice: our rural direct sales channel puts life-changing solar home lights in the hands of about fifty thousand of off-grid villagers each month.  About 6000 village direct sellers have increased their incomes by over 40% on average.
