Veranda Solar - Solar Panels For Everyone

Here's a cool idea: make relatively cheap, easy to use, "plug-n-play" solar panels that can be used by nearly anyone in almost any location. Sound cool?

That's what Veranda Solar is all about. Their new product is a solar panel that unfolds and easily mounts out any window, onto any gutter, or on any balcony. They clip together (no tools needed) and offer plug-and-play support for easy use.

The company, Veranda Solar, was launched at Standford University last year by Emilie Fetscher and Capra J'neva, who designed the panels as a thesis for product design. They plan to have the panels on the market for purchase by the end of this year.

Funding to begin their venture was in the form of 100,000 Euros won at the PICNIC Green Challenge.

A waiting list, investment information, and more are found on their website:
