Via Solar LLC

This small alternative energy company was founded in 2004. It’s founder Christopher Kenny was responsible for mobile solar technology going mainstream. He is known by some of his peers as the father of Mobile Solar Generation Technology. Chris Kenny started the company with the idea of helping others in third world countries by providing electricity to rural areas. Development of solar technology and economic feasibility soon provided the means for Via Solar to provide emergency energy to disaster stricken areas. Via Solar provided SMGs (solar mobile generators) to disasters such as Katrina in New Orleans, Haiti and the North East following Storm Sandy. Collaboration between the Foundation for Peace and Preservation Earth Project, both not-for-profits that aid the needy, have been utilizing Via Solar technology. The ability to provide mobile environmentally, friendly energy has become a teaching tool in the Third World. Battery management, solar and wind have been adapted in third world countries and rural parts of the United States at a quicker rate due to Via Solar’s contributions to this technology.

Certain aspects of Via Solar technology has been utilized to circumvent the suffering caused by the cholera outbreak in Haiti following the earthquake in that country in 2008. Recently electric water heaters have been ban in certain areas of Zimbabwe due to electric outages. Zimbabwe’s fragile energy grid has been over taxed lately due to inefficient antiqued systems. Some have suggested a cooperative agreement between small villages to ease the stress on Zimbabwe’s electrical infrastructure. Via Solar was asked to provide technical expertise and modeling to provide possible solutions.

Via Solar LLC is a privately owned company based in Gladstone, New Jersey and West Point Mississippi, USA
