Solar powered printing helping African education sector

The Risolar is the world’s first solar powered printing device and the company is motivated by environmental or economic benefits. Reducing energy consumption is a key focus at Risolar Africa and is engrained in their products. Even at maximum output capacity, RISO™ machines have substantially less energy draw when compared to traditional equivalents. Primarily designed for the rural African education sector, the RISOLAR™ has a maximum draw of only 110W at an output of up to 90 pages per minute. Risolar Africa's Managing Director, Mark Anderson, spoke to Climate Action to discuss energy efficiency in the industry.
