Founded in 2001 in London, UK, Better Energy Systems, the makers of SOLIO, envision a massive shift in energy delivery and infrastructure to combat global warming.
According to Solio, "We believe that making renewable technology accessible to the average person will speed this shift. Solio, our flagship product, was conceived as a 'trojan horse' for the renewable energy market; a versatile hand-held charger that opens the lives and minds of consumers to the potential of solar. BES also stands for energy equality: the belief that all people - regardless of geography or economic standing - are entitled to clean energy and light. We are engaged in the fight against poverty by finding new ways to bring sustainable power and light to people at the bottom of the economic pyramid."
