Little Sun

Little Sun was founded in 2012 by artist Olafur Eliasson and engineer Frederik Ottesen. A perfect symbiosis of art and science that aims to make the power of solar energy accessible to all. Frederik and Olafur want to see the benefits of sustainable light and energy transform the lives of the 1.1 billion people who live without access to electricity. Little Sun's project is that for every solar lamp purchased in an industrial region, one will be made available at a locally affordable price in areas without electricity - to people living in regions that do not have access to electricity. So the project began by making solar energy accessible in regions of Africa, and with it, access to more education, health and self-determination.
