MECS-STARSS (Standalone or rooftop solar systems inclusive of e-cooking)

Competition Overview

Previous MECS challenge funds have prompted innovation, early research, and piloting, all of which seek to rapidly accelerate the transition from biomass to clean cooking, particularly modern energy cooking services, on a global scale. The STARSS Technology Accelerator Challenge Fund competition built on this progression of interest by inviting organisations to test innovative configurations of existing technology and business models to pilot and demonstrate stand alone or rooftop solar based systems that will be utilized for clean energy cooking. 

The total duration was 10 months with total funding of £58,000.00. We were so pleased to announce the winners of STARSS challenge fund competition; click on each button to read more about the awardees and their projects.
