Our founders, Dr. Catlin Powers and Scot Frank, developed SolSource as a solution for energy poverty while working with nomads in the Himalayas. Today, our revolutionary solar-powered stoves are used by customers in over 60 countries.
Our flagship product, SolSource, is the ultimate solar cooker. It heats up five times faster than a charcoal grill, delivers a whopping 1,000 watts of power, and harnesses sunlight seven times more efficiently than an average photovoltaic solar panel. With its high-performance reflector technology, SolSource represents the next evolution of cooking. It harnesses pure sunlight to sear steaks and sauté vegetables to perfection.
Since releasing SolSource in 2013, our dedicated team continues to develop award-winning products that revolutionize the way we use energy in our homes. Our growing portfolio of international patents includes numerous advancements in solar thermal capture and storage technologies.
