“The most common thing our customers tell us is; Wow, I didn’t know the sun was so powerful.”
Since 2013, One Earth Designs has been setting a new standard for clean energy and global business as one of the top ranked responsible businesses on B Corp’s Best for the World List. They developed SolSource as a solution for cooking and saving fuel while working with nomads in the Himalayas. Today, the solar-powered stoves are used by customers in over 60 countries. Their flagship product, SolSource, heats up five times faster than a charcoal grill, delivers a whopping 1,000 watts of power and harnesses sunlight seven times more efficiently than an average photovoltaic solar panel. Since releasing SolSource in 2013, the portfolio of international patents have grown, and this includes numerous advancements in solar thermal capture and storage technologies.
