Mosquito-borne diseases like malaria pose a significant threat to households, particularly in regions with limited access to electricity and healthcare. Traditional methods of mosquito control, such as kerosene lamps, can be costly, environmentally damaging, and pose health risks due to smoke emissions.

SolarMed develops and distributes solar-powered healthcare devices, including the Mossie-GO, a portable mosquito protection system designed for household use. The Mossie-GO utilizes a solar panel to charge an internal battery, providing up to three nights of operation. It emits a World Health Organization-recommended pyrethroid to create a protective barrier, reducing mosquito bites by up to 90% based on clinical testing. By replacing kerosene lamps, the Mossie-GO reduces exposure to harmful smoke and offers a cost-effective and sustainable solution for mosquito control. SolarMed also offers the Solar Seed, which combines mosquito vector control with lighting and device charging functionalities to address critical needs at the intersection of health and energy access.
