The Ugandan company Africa Alternative Energy Solutions has developed the Powerstation, which uses a vehicle’s electricity-generating capability to store unused electricity while driving, without extra fuel consumption. When a car’s battery is full, the generator continues to turn, but the electricity is in essence thrown away and thus wasted. The Powerstation stores this electricity and works as an extra portable battery. This energy can be used to power various devices in and around the house. “Drive an hour a day and have free light all night”.

Considering frequent power-cuts in Uganda, this product is suitable for urban areas with grid connection as well as distant rural areas that do not have a grid connection.
