The philosophy of DURON Solar is to use latest technology to offer high quality and reliable products to its customers. Our US based investor, Idealab is known for pioneering new technologies and the products from DURON Solar are part of that rich legacy. Coupled with this, the widespread village level sales and distribution network ensures that the company is always accessible to its customers. Once fully charged, DURON BREEZE can run all of the above devices for four hours. However, if the customer chooses to use only the fan option without the lights and the phone charging, the same can be run for more than seven hours. The other extremely useful feature is the facility to charge mobile phones. In villages without dependable grid electricity connectivity, the facility to charge a mobile phone keeps one connected all the time.



DURON BREEZE uses latest technology and has many customer friendly features Lightning protection, Dim/Bright light option, Battery level indicator and the innovative Maximum Power Point Tracking technology to derive maximum power from the solar panels. The aesthetically designed products are portable, easy to install and are backed up by a well spread out sales and service network.

This brings in huge savings for our customers while ensuring consistent availability of electricity during the usage time. The product cost can be typically recovered in two to three years through the savings. If one adds to this, clean reliable power, the benefits are really significant
