The Problem: Solar energy technology is very expensive, limiting the number of people and places that can benefit from its incredible potential.

The Plan: To utilize existing, cheap materials and innovative design to significantly reduce the cost of solar energy.

The Impact: This technology could be deployed to both developed and developing-world communities, bringing cutting-edge solar technology to millions of people who today cannot afford the high capital investment.
