Introducing the Durst Solar Case

Coming soon, final design may vary

Durst Rotary Solar Case for solar charging, portable

The Rotary Solar Case is a compact high power battery bank designed in conjunction with Durst Industries (Aust.) Pty Ltd and the Rotary Club of Salamander Bay for use in remote regions.

The Rotary Solar Case has been developed, first and foremost, to provide light in remote health centres, aiding health workers where the availability of electricity is problematic at the best of times. The ability to provide portable lights for village birthing assistants is a major priority in areas where women often give birth in village huts or village health centres where the light from kerosene lanterns or mobile phones is otherwise the best available alternative.
The Solar Case also has application in regions that have been subject to natural disaster where there has been a disruption to conventional power, providing immediate light and ability to recharge phones etc to maintain emergency contact channels. The additional capacity of the Rotary Solar Case to recharge 12 volt DC batteries / devises or USB charged devises further enhances the value of the Case. The power pack ensures that while ever there is sunlight there is power to provide light and recharge essential equipment. Some 5000 similar units out of the US have been sent across Africa earning a USD1Million grant from the UN. Our units will be less expensive, more battery power and built with the specific needs of our island neighbours foremost in mind. While we anticipate a similar need across PNG and nearby islands, Rotary will be initially trialing two units in PNG for three months, refine, demonstrate and raise funds for the first production run, minimum 100 units.
