Liter of Lighter has a simple solution. Using plastic bottles only, sunlight is captured for use inside off-grid housing. Each plastic bottle is filled with water and a bit of bleach and inserted through a roof. The bottle refracts sunlight with the intensity of a 55-watt light bulb that is powerful enough to light up a room.
