New ATC Solar Lighting System
ATC has designed a modular system of solar/LED lights to replace kerosene lamps. With over 2 billion people living without access to electricity, most lighting their homes with kerosene or candles, ATC has designed a bright lighting system that is less expensive than kerosene.

Same Kitchen With Solar/LED Light
This family reports having enough energy from an ATC 10 watt solar panel to run two lights for 4 hours per night and for 2 hours in the morning. We also installed an outlet in the system to charge cell phones. The cell phone charger saves this family a 90 minute walk to the nearest store.
ATC is now in the process of designing a family of solar lighting products so that customers can buy as much light as they need. Our new system is modular starting with an inexpensive 5 watt system that can grow to 100 watts!
