The document discusses solar energy solutions provided by Kyoto Energy to address energy poverty. It describes several affordable solar products like the Kyoto Box solar cooker, Kyoto Turbo biomass cooker, Kyoto Bag solar water heater, and Kyoto Flash solar light. Kyoto Energy works with local manufacturers to produce these products at scale and low costs. The company also partners with communities to set up microgrids powered by solar solutions and educates about the environmental and financial benefits of transitioning to renewable energy.

Kyoto Turbo increases the combus-

How it Works:
The air between the two cylinders
heats up, rises upward and is
inserted into the flames, increasing
the temperature to 700°C.
This vaporizes all the smoke
particles and increases the
combustion efficiency three-fold.
