Pheladi Chiloane (South Africa) - Sola4Africa
Sola4Africa's innovation, the SolaGeyza, addresses the critical issue of limited access to conventional, solar-powered hot water systems in informal and rural settlements. Many of these communities lack running water, and have inadequate housing structures making traditional installations impractical. In response, SolaGeyza offers an affordable, durable, and portable solar-powered water heating system, designed specifically for hygienic, household use.
The SolaGeyza provides a practical solution for underserved communities by increasing public access to hot water, fostering an inclusive approach to the access of resources. For individuals and families in informal settlements, the SolaGeyza provides a reliable source of hot water, strengthening hygienic practices and improving everyday health. The portability of the system allows it to be easily positioned against existing structures, making it suitable for a variety of living conditions, with its affordability ensuring it's economically viable across all communities.
