BANGALORE, INDIA: Azuri Technologies, a company launched by Eight19, will promote the Indigo (pay as you go solar technology) technology for the Indian and African market. Eight19, a start-up formed in 2010, will continue to focus on the development of its printed plastic solar cell technology, while Azuri will focus on expanding the Indigo product, reports Peter Clarke of EETimes.
Simon Bransfield-Garth will remain CEO of both companies. Indigo, currently based on conventional solar cell technology, is expected to replace kerosene lamps which cause ill health and carbon footprint.
The pay as you go solar technology is expanding rapidly and has already been deployed in Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, South Sudan, Uganda and South Africa.
