Amped builds solar products for the billions of people who lack access to reliable energy. When it comes to solar products, there has always been a tradeoff between appliance performance and long runtimes. Amped has breakthrough solar technology called Smart Performance so you no longer have to choose. You can now have a loud, bright appliance with long evening runtimes.
 Our approach of “building better solar” quickly gained traction with customers across Africa and Southeast Asia.   Our new killer product is a Solar Generator.  It is the first Solar Generator that can compete with the common fossil fuel generator on price and performance.  Over the next five years, we aim to displace 150 million MWhr of dirty Fossil-Fuel Generators, the equivalent energy consumption of 15 million USA homes.
