About Us

SunNight Solar is leading a new movement in delivering products to the consumer, focusing on what is being called a ‘triple bottom line’ or a 3P approach – people, planet and profits. All of our operations and programs have all three of these elements – we have integrated social and environmental benefits into every aspect of our company, while earning the profits which allow us to grow, develop new products via dedicated research and development and provide a return to our employees and investors. We just do not operate in any other fashion – if we can’t ensure we provide triple value, we just don’t do it – it really is that simple.

We also make the best flashlight in the world – pretty much by accident. The founder of SNS, Mark Bent, lived in Africa for over twenty years, first as an American diplomat, then as an oil executive for a French firm. While living in Eritrea in 2005, he wanted to provide lights to some of his friends, employees, and some children he had befriended who survived by scavenging in the local dump. When he could not find anything suitable – he started SNS, made a light which is now the leader in off-grid lighting products in Africa, parts of south and Central America . We also anticipate this light – our SunLight series – to quickly become the flashlight of choice in the US , Europe and the rest of the developing world.

We are based in Houston , Texas . Our senior management team has a variety of skills, backgrounds and areas of concentration – international sales, chief of operations, head of logistics, etc. We are also augmented by a team of research scientists, engineers and specialists, some based in the US , as well as a number from Europe, China , New Zealand and elsewhere. We bring people together for specific tasks, and we also have the opportunity to call upon the top universities and scientists in the world - and we greatly appreciate the benefits of on-line collaborative research. We partner with a firm called Innocentive - www.innocentive.com – which offers cash awards for ‘solving’ technical challenges.

We are working on additional products – lights as well as water treatment and other solar consumer products. We are presently involved in research on a solar powered device which kills, repels or sterilizes the female mosquito. We are also looking at hydroponics – please check back with us frequently.
