We're back! In this issue, we're teaching a valuable life skill—how to read a spec sheet! Plus, a round of solar lighting fact or fiction, our latest case study, and an invite to our next live training session.


How to read a spec sheet

We're here to set the record straight. Here's the 'fact check' button you've been wishing for 👇
