19-Year-Old Solar Panel Maker Shaking Up Industry

Eden Full knew since she was three years-old that she’s wanted to be a scientist. It wasn’t until she entered into a science competition at nine years-old and built her first solar car that she realized the potential for solar, particularly in areas around the world that remain without electricity.                                                                                                                                            

                           

Just 10 years later, in 2010, she succeeded in providing electricity, for the first time, to two villages in Kenya through her company, Roseicollis Technologies. She built the social enterprise on her technology, the SunSlater, a cost-effective solar panel rotator she developed which she says increases the efficiency of solar panels.
