For the lower middle-class, caught between an erratic-if-accessible mains supply and expensive dry cells, microPower provides a reliable solar battery charger. Unlike the slew of PV systems vendors in India selling at 5-digit prices, microPower solutions begin with Rs 60 (USD 1=50) to charge one AA size battery. More products are planned, e.g LED lamps, path-way markers, distress flashers, mini-vent blowers, mini-pumps etc.
Headquartered at Mumbai in India, microPower invites partnerships with such developmental bodies including Nodal Agencies, NGOs and FIs, that have an interest in rural welfare, energy development, ICT and environmental programmes. Applications range from battery support for hand-helds like the Simputer to water pumping.
microPower can offer ready products for retailers as well as assemblies for micro-entrepreneurs and field workers. Prototypes are successfully field-proven and accessible for demonstration.
