Believe it or not, I’ve been on vacation in Aruba for the past week (I’m sneaky like that). I have a few friends who are locals, and one of them was telling me that he will soon be moving out on his own. His expected rent is dirt cheap at $400 per month, but he expects that his electricity and water bills will easily surpass the monthly rent. We often take affordable clean water and electricity for granted in the United States, but even in a highly developed tourist destination like Aruba they can be insanely expensive. Now just imagine living in a developing nation with low income and high energy costs. Electricity is an extreme luxury. But not for much longer if Duron Energy has their way. They’re a company that came out of Idealab, and they are “a leader in affordable power products designed for off-grid use in emerging markets.” Duron Energy is headquartered in Bangalore, India, but they also have offices in Ahmedabad and Lucknow (both in India) as well as in Los Angeles, CA.
How does Duron Energy provide affordable and reliable electricity? They’ve built the Duron, an “all-in-one, off-the-shelf solar system” for rural users. It’s not going to run a home entertainment system, but it provides lights, cell phone charging, and enough power to significantly improve everyday life. Whether it’s for a shop owner or a family, Duron can make a huge difference in productivity. And the best part is that there’s no infrastructure required—it just requires the investment of an individual, family, or group to buy a unit. Obviously, the Duron is also environmentally friendly since it replaces kerosene lamps and other unsafe and polluting energy and lighting alternatives. What’s really cool is to see the impact that Duron Energy is having in rural India. If you want to be a part of it, then you should consider a job with Duron Energy. They don’t list specific positions, but they seem more than open to taking unsolicited applications.
