PROBLEM: An estimated 1.3 billion people live without access to electricity. Left in the dark, most turn to kerosene and other fossil fuels for light.

• Living with a kerosene lamp is like smoking 40 cigarettes a day.
• More than 1.8 million people a year die from complications arising from indoor air pollution.
• Kerosene fires are common, killing more than 1 million each year.
• The smoke and CO2 coming from the world’s fuel lanterns is equivalent to the exhaust from 30 million cars.

Fuel is also expensive - about $40 billion per year is spent on lighting fuel by the world’s poorest people, yet those who use kerosene receive only 0.1% of total lighting services. Money that could be used for food and medicine is spent on fuel instead.

SOLUTION: Nokero solar lights, the most economical solar light on the market.

Nokero solar lights and power panels are lightweight, portable, and full of energy – just like you.

Whether your destination is Everest Base Camp or your own backyard, our products have brought light and power to people in variable conditions all over the globe.

Hike right through the rain* with your Nokero light on your back – so long as your light is casting a shadow, it’s getting a charge. With Nokero technology in tow, you can be sure that wherever there is sun, you’ll have the energy you need.

Hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, rolling blackouts. The phone lines can go down, the power lines can be torn from the ground – when Mother Nature strikes there’s no telling what may happen next.

Sometimes is it days, or weeks, before help arrives. Power panels can charge cell phones, digital clocks, and even charge batteries (accessory not included).

In dark times, Nokero lights are a beacon of comfort, providing light when the grid is down. In Japan, Haiti, and elsewhere, Nokero is teaming up with our partners and supporters to bring solar power to those in need. Thousands of Nokero N200 bulbs were delivered to Japan via our 1-for-1 matching program, and at Nokero we are ready to do what we can for those in need.

Battery power is precious on a boat. Illuminate the deck with Nokero lights, and keep cell phones and other devices charged with Nokero Power Panels.

A little sea spray is no concern for Nokero lights, which are rainproof*, durable, and just right for the seafaring life.

Charge several bulbs above deck, and keep others below. With more than 20 hours potential storage in each custom-made, high-temperature Nokero battery, it’s possible to turn the bulbs off, charge them for multiple days in the sun, and attain a full charge on the battery before using them indoors or at night. Or hang them out each day for about six hours of light per night on low and 2.5 on high.

Nokero solar technology is at the cutting edge, which means these aren’t the fragile, unreliable solar products of days gone by.

Enjoy the bright glow of a solar light to read by the bedside, use in the tool shed, or as a night-light in the children’s room.

Lightweight and portable, lasting and durable, Nokero lights are rainproof and can handle outdoor conditions through all four seasons of the year.

Hang them outside for a day or two to charge, then bring inside for many hours of light. Buy two and rotate them inside and out, or put your bulb to the test to see just how long a little sunshine can light up your life. Pair your light with a Power Panel, and power cell phones and other small devices with clean, sustainable solar energy.**

Solar technology has come a long way in recent years. Nokero’s special 3-ply solar panels can bring more efficiency than traditional panels, and its top-quality components, special high-temperature batteries, and polycarbonate lenses are only a few of the reasons why Nokero lights outclass other all-in-one solar systems.

Nokero lights and solar chargers give light and power – without draining batteries. Nokero technology is safe, non-toxic, and doesn’t emit polluting fumes, so the whole family can enjoy without worry.

Have a phone that needs charging? All that’s needed is a little sunshine, and in a matter of hours your cell phone or other small device will come alive.**

Nokero lights and Power Panels will re-charge every day they’re in sunlight. Keep your bulbs on hand for those times when a little light can go a long way.

Power panels can recharge your phone on a sunny day, and Nokero lights can light your way at night. Nokero products will take a small charge behind a window, but are best placed in direct, full, sunlight. Keep your lights and Panels handy, so when that time of need comes, you’re ready.

With even one Nokero light, a family can continue being productive – cooking, studying, earning extra money for the family – into the night. Without it, a family is one step further from escaping the cycle of poverty.

Half a billion people have cell phones but no access to electricity. Power panels can recharge a typical cell phone in a matter of hours for a fraction of the current cost.
