Even after electrification of 96% of villages in India, almost 30% of households still lack electrification due to which villagers use kerosene as their main source of lighting. SoUL, IIT Bombay started an initiative to provide power in rural parts of India with solar energy to electrify the regular households helping rural people with day to day domestic activities and reduce their dependence on kerosene.

This project is an attempt to develop the solar solution to serve to domestic needs in rural houses by providing them with a kit containing set of lamps and add-ons like fan, mobile charger and radio, hence improve their livelihood and enhance usability. The kit is so designed that, assembly, distribution, installation and servicing will be done by the local villagers to create job opportunities.
