Better Living: Pocketful of Sunshine

by | Sep 12, 2014 | News | 0 comments

Sunlight is possibly the most plentiful resource available to us in the southern hemisphere – and it’s free!

These Better Living Challenge Exhibitors show us some of the ways in which solar power can be harnessed and used in the home:

Mark Blumenthal’s Solar Bottle is a low-cost, modified water cooler bottle with a black painted tin can which acts as a passive solar heater.

Deon du Preez’s Solazela, on the other hand,  is a high-pressure solar water heater made entirely from recyclable plastic material – providing a household with over 125 litres of hot water per day.

Want to know more about our other Exhibitors? Look out for updates as we continue to feature some of the fantastic solutions you’ll be able to see at the Better Living Showcase in October!  Better Living is a World Design 2014 Project #204
