The reason solar lanterns have been successful is because they are designed as WHOLE SYSTEMS, that is, the load is completely designed around and integrated with the charging source and battery. Solar Home Systems (SHS) and larger hardwired systems are just part of the whole system, because the load includes the consumers, the people using the power. If people can plug in and use a source of energy, they will. Batteries are the weak part of the system and continued over-discharge is the most common cause of system breakdown.

Our new PicoBoss system will provide a finer level of consumer control for low-power DC micro-grids that will enable villages and neighborhoods to share a single PV system and battery. www.picoboss.com
