There are two kinds of light – the

glow that illuminates, and the glare that

obscures – James Thurber

The Challenge We have, just in front of all of us, the We have, just in front of all of us, the

global challenge of promoting global challenge of promoting innovative solutions to huge energy innovative solutions to huge energy

supply, be it industrial or lighting supply, be it industrial or lighting needsneeds

Man is known for his dividing act: Man is known for his dividing act: He drew the lines on the borderless earth.He drew the lines on the borderless earth.He divided the regions as urban and rural.He divided the regions as urban and rural.

In this energy supply chain, In this energy supply chain, is there any energy balance?is there any energy balance?

Alas…

We all want the cream to rise. Then, let’s provide We all want the cream to rise. Then, let’s provide

the opportunities to all. The opportunities need the opportunities to all. The opportunities need not come in huge form. They could be as small not come in huge form. They could be as small

as a torch. They could be as little as a solar mini as a torch. They could be as little as a solar mini lamp – the lamp that provides the GLOW that lamp – the lamp that provides the GLOW that

ILLUMINATES. ILLUMINATES.

What a multi-million dollar solar power plant can do What a multi-million dollar solar power plant can do in terms of AWARENESS, this small lamp will do in terms of AWARENESS, this small lamp will do but also in a large scale and faster!! And, that’s but also in a large scale and faster!! And, that’s

why I call small is not only big, beautiful but why I call small is not only big, beautiful but profitable too. profitable too.

Profitable to ALL!!!Profitable to ALL!!!

Yes

We do not have to do too many things! We do not have to do too many things! We do not have to do big things either. We do not have to do big things either.

Just give them a small light. Just give them a small light. This small light would enlighten them. This small light would enlighten them.

Magically enough! Magically enough! And, they, sure, will rise. And, they, sure, will rise.

They will rise, on their own.They will rise, on their own.

This is what I consider empathy.This is what I consider empathy.

We get the mineral water cream We get the mineral water cream and let the dirty water trickle down. and let the dirty water trickle down.

This is the potable water of This is the potable water of the billions of people world over. the billions of people world over.

In exactly the same way, we get In exactly the same way, we get the white petrol to fly our aero planes and the white petrol to fly our aero planes and

• The founder D.T.Barki born in a small village in Karnataka

• Graduated in B.Tech(Electronics & Com) from India’s premier engineering institute KREC (now NIT) in South Canara, Karnataka

• About 12 years of seamless exposure to solar technology (solar cells and modules) in BHEL, Bangalore

• Independent project experience by setting up of world class solar cell and module lines (22% of country’s solar infrastructure)…RES, Photon etc

• Experience in providing solar lighting solutions to the really needy people in large scale:

Ø 1000 street lights in the mountainous districts of Orissa, a most backward state of India

Ø Instrumental in leading the entire solar industry to support AP Govt’s (Vision2020) 100,000 solar lantern schemes to the rural people including DWCRA women

• Started in 1998

• Launched the proven solar mini lamp in 2001

• Sold 45,670 lamps so far

• At least 31,456 solar lamps are in Kerosene Hot-spot areas

• Provided light in some of the hamlets, which couldn’t have got modern light in the next 50 years (Mahabubnagar among other districts of AP, India and 100 households of un-electrified villages in the hilly regions of Bhutan

• City labour-hamlets living in subsistence level get the solar lighting. These slum-dwellers live under below the survival levels of basic amenities right in the heart of the cities.

• City hawkers, who burn enormous amount of kerosene for lighting are addressed with the solar lamps.

• A unique programme called “Solar Seeding” is undertaken. Solar Study Lamp campaign to promote solar lamps in the schools is a massive business model to cover all the schools not just a demonstration but as the sale of solar lamps in the organized manner.

• Micro-enterprise building in rural regions

• It addresses the lighting needs of 2 billion people, who otherwise have no way to get to use any modern light in the coming decades.

• Organized, innovative, global networking and focused approach to reach the remote far-flung regions

• Self sustainable business model combined with socio-economic impact on the lives of rural and urban poor.

• Definite and Long-term goals

• A dedicated infrastructure building solely to meet the vast solar lighting project across the globe.

• It’s essential to create a self-sufficient infrastructure to address the large-scale deployment of solar lamps. More so, when the solar industry keeps busy itself addressing the large power requirement.

• Amorphous silicon module manufacturing facility is being

considered for Joint Venture between a Dutch company

• Acquire the complimentary strengths of the overseas partner(s) to address the massive and sparse global lighting requirements

• Build state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to meet the demand in terms of international quality and global reach

• To bring in funds from overseas partners

• Market expansion due to regional co-operation (Africa, SAARC countries)

• Continued R&D supports for instant adoption of newer technologies and/or improvements
