In a press release today, solar-powered light manufacturer Sol, Inc. announced that the first phase of its Haiti relief effort has been completed. The company has already shipped approximately one third of its first 130 solar light systems and is looking for air or sea shipping partners to assist with the rest. While the bulk of the company’s $300,000 effort has yet to be realized–i.e., installed–Sol, Inc. did get some emergency systems up right after the initial devastating earthquake:
Solar lights donated by Sol, Inc. have already been installed at University Hospital, International Airport, UN Logistics Base and Hotel Montana within days of the disaster for quick, immediate and reliable illumination for victims and volunteers.
Two representatives from the company have been on the ground in Haiti since January 19 installing lights and ensuring that their systems are being put to use where they’re most needed.
