In our latest blog post, we delve into the astounding power of the sun and its potential to transform our energy landscape. Every hour, the Earth is bathed in 173,000 terawatt-hours of solar energy, which astonishingly matches the amount of energy humans consume globally in an entire year. This revelation not only highlights the immense power of solar energy but also underscores the vast potential it holds for future energy solutions.
Join us as we explore how Kitwe’s leveraging this abundant resource is leading to a revolution in how we power our city, homes, and lives. From reducing our carbon footprint to enhancing energy security, the benefits of solar power is propelling us towards a more sustainable and resilient future. Discover the possibilities in “Sunshine Power” and imagine a world where clean energy is not just a dream but a daily reality.

In 1993, Trevor watched a program about the spread of AIDS in Africa, which observed that in many regions radio was the only available means of communication, but the need for batteries or electricity made them too expensive or too difficult to access. There was a need for an educational tool that did not rely on electricity.
Trevor picked up on the word ‘need’. Need is the catalyst for an inventor’s ‘raison d’être’ and Trevor rose to the occasion.
