Solar E-Waste Challenge

Deadline Date – 15-Dec-2019 Solar E-Waste Challenge A program to support innovations in off-grid solar e-waste management. Off-grid solar technologies provide life-changing access to modern energy services for people and communities currently living without electricity.

E-waste generated by the off-grid solar sector represents less than 0.1% of global e- waste streams, but investment now will ensure the industry’s growth is sustainable over the long term and further enhance the sector’s reputation as a leader in environmental responsibility. The Global LEAP Solar E-Waste Challenge, supported by USAID, will make up to $1.2 million in grant funding available to support the research and development of more sustainable solar home system and battery technologies for the off-grid solar sector in sub-Saharan Africa. Innovations should extend product and/or component lifespan; enhance product repairability and recyclability; facilitate refurbishment, reuse or repurposing; or reduce rare metal and hazardous material composition...
