Developing nations still face electricity crisis and ideas like using solar power for lighting up their spaces is a well thought initiative. Three engineering students from the University of Michigan have come up with an apt solution to tackle such a problem, which will make life easier for developing nations. They have prepared a portable solar panel named Emerald, which not acts as a light source but at the same time functions as a cell phone charger.
Though products based on same lines have come up before as well but what makes it stand out of the crowd is its efficiency to light an area for eight hours when charged. Also, its quality to charge a phone at the same time makes Emerald an instant pick. An idea to sell this product at a reasonable price to its customers in the developing nations for less than 20 bucks is also quite commendable.
