4 Our planet, our partners, our people 4 - 4
Annual Report 2012 29
The creation of ‘light centers’ is also an integral part of a
three-year partnership we have entered into with the
Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) to help expand
their WorldCoaches program in rural Africa and South
America. WorldCoaches trains soccer coaches in using
the game for social development, focusing on
communities in developing countries.
In six cities en route to Cape Town we also partnered
with Right To Play – a global organization that uses the
transformative power of play to educate and empower
children facing adversity – on a soccer tournament that
took place under our solar-powered LED floodlights.
Providing clinical training
In support of UN Millennium Development Goals 4 and
5, which aim to reduce child mortality rates and improve
maternal health, we also used the roadshow to deliver
clinical education on baby resuscitation, fetal monitoring
and clinical ultrasound, and to train over 1,200 healthcare
practitioners on how to accomplish safe childbirths and
improve maternal and infant care.
The road ahead
“Philips remains dedicated to continuing the engagements,
partnerships and commitments we have made on this
journey,” says JJ van Dongen, CEO Philips Africa. “We are
committed to an aggressive multiyear investment plan to
significantly increase our business footprint in the coming
years, based upon locally relevant products and
innovations that address the needs of the growing African
population.”
During the day Solar Gen2’s solar
panel converts solar energy to
electrical energy and stores it in the
battery. At night the battery is
discharged, releasing electrical energy
to power the LED luminaire.
The key to this breakthrough
solution lies in the combination of
new High Brightness LEDs with
patented optics and an intelligent
controller which ensures that
maximum power is transferred from
the solar panel to the battery (30%
more efficient than traditional charge
controllers). And it can dim the light
when needed, based on self-learning
intelligence and a history log. Thanks
to the high energy efficiency, the cost
and size of the batteries and solar
panels can be reduced by as much as
50% compared to standard solutions.
The system can also be used to
charge mobile devices.
