Abstract
This design researched and explored the new way of solar light use and deploying, on efficiency and usability levels. Recent research has shown that the solar energy has a potential impact on people1, which accounts for one of the most of the available renewable energy on earth. In this research, I decided to look deeply into the appliance of solar light systems, to make solar energy accessible for many of the people in Eastern Uganda's rural areas.
Observations and arguments have shown that solar light systems should not only “pay” their energy and carbon debt from manufacturing, but also provides health benefit for human being by relacing carbon monoxide-emission light source

This design researched and explored the new way of solar light use and deploying, on efficiency and usability levels. Recent research has shown that the solar energy has a potential impact on people1, which accounts for one of the most of the available renewable energy on earth. In this research, I decided to look deeply into the appliance of solar light systems, to make solar energy accessible for many of the people in Eastern Uganda's rural areas.
Observations and arguments have shown that solar light systems should not only “pay” their energy and carbon debt from manufacturing, but also provides health benefit for human being by relacing carbon monoxide-emission light source
2. Solar lights have potential possibilities to create a better user experience and reliable off-grid system. The documentation illustrates the way of lower the cost and get the product closer to the endusers, and how to design them within a certain period of time and academic design methodologies. What remains being clarified, is the way of distributing the product and the future business model of the whole operating product system. There is still lacking awareness
of the solar energy3, and remaining problem of the PAYGO system4, which need to be solved in the future implementation of the design. (Less)
