Oftentimes, in the rural areas especially, the people are forced to utilize energy generation devices in order to obtain accessible electricity simply because they are off-grid. Unfortunately, such energy generation devices are not only expensive to purchase and maintain, they are also not environment-friendly because they emit polluting effluents to the atmosphere.

However, with this smart social innovation, the problem is effectively tackled! Introducing the PowerCorner.
