Inventor Steve Katsaros created Nokero, a solar light bulb designed to provide light to 1.6 billion people in the world that lack access to electricity.

Launched in June of 2010, the Nokero bulb combines the best in solar and LED technology to create a superior, yet affordable, solar light. It’s made to last. The clear globe is made from the same shatter-resistant polycarbonate used in car headlights, and its high-temperature battery ensures it will charge efficiently even in the world’s hottest weather.

Nokero has the potential to be a powerful tool to government and non-governmental organizations to bring disaster

relief in times of calamity, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters, when light is often needed most.

Nokero can be used in the home as well. It can be hung on an outdoor patio, soaking up light during the day and providing soothing light in the evening. It can also be used in classroom education, camping, in backyards, or in any ways in which traditional lighting is currently employed.

Steve Katsaros founded Nokero (short for No Kerosene) in June 2010, a for-profit company that designs affordable solar technology solutions expressly for poor, off-grid communities around the world. Katsaros’ goal has been to develop safe, affordable and environmentally friendly technology that eliminates the need for harmful and polluting fuels.
