Bright spots - Ingenuity at work


Complain or cope. Your choice. Kudos to Dr. Charles Robertson for displaying superior resourcefulness and initiative. Ai (American ingenuity) at work.

Doctors best friend - Solar DC lighting



Spotted what appeared to be an abandoned battery bank (Top pic). Many homes, SMEs and Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) are abandoning renewable solutions after systems fail or replacement batteries become unaffordable.
Side by side images show a fresh battery bank of eight batteries and other small battery bank(s) deployed at deprived Primary Healthcare Centers (PHCs) by Solar Jooce. Our modified photography lamp holders simulate theater lights and are fed by the mini battery banks without any need for inverters. Solar Jooce "Baby Banks" are hands down a doctors best friend. African Ingenuity (Ai) at its best - It Works In Nigeria #IWIN

While the sun shines - Make hay

Our thoughts are with assistant nurse manager Kious Kelly's family, colleagues and friends. He succumbed to Covid-19.
Preparedness is everything.
At Solar Jooce we deploy resilient solar solutions that are designed to endure in tough operating environments.We do this because failure is not an option and our technicians can not be committed to working in environments with a high risk of contagion in the event of a power system failure. We do frugal innovation for hard hit communities.

Home - Where the sun ought to shine

Have to agree with Ms. Le Pen. African leaders stay in your home countries for medical care. You've had six decades to get your houses in order.
