10 Personal Solar-Powered Innovations

While it is important that industries seek out renewable energy sources, it is also important for consumers to be mindful of their energy intake (collectively) and these personal solar-powered innovations show how one can be a bit more sustainable in their everyday choices.

Many innovations are developed in the university by eager design students hoping for a better tomorrow. Lund University students, for example, explored the benefits of solar power with a range of light designs. The products were showcased in a group exhibition titled 'A Light That Never Goes Out.' On display were various personal solar-powered innovations, including the Eye Lamp for refugee camps and the Stick Light which was designed for camping.

Another great example of a personal solar-powered innovation comes from Mireille Steinhage, a Central Saint Martins design graduate, who created the Solar Blanket.
