The latest release of the popular Consol Solar Jar® showcases remarkable technological advancements, making it the most innovative and powerful version to date. This generation 6 Consol Solar Jar® ingeniously combines the timeless Consol classic preserve jar with cutting-edge solar technology, offering sustainable and environmentally friendly light. Embracing each hour of sunshine, it converts it into a sustainable hour of illumination, rendering it the most practical and accessible consumer solar light for the African market.

Proudly handcrafted in South Africa in alignment with Fair Trade principles, the Consol Solar Jar® not only provides employment opportunities and imparts skills to previously unemployed individuals but also takes great care in minimizing CO2 emissions and responsibly sourcing raw materials, contributing to its environmental kindness.

One of the significant technological breakthroughs in the new Consol Solar Jar® is the Solar Module, transforming it into a lantern while serving as a versatile, pocket-sized solar-powered light that can be carried anywhere independently. The Solar Module's housing, crafted from impact-resistant and weather-resistant materials, enhances its durability.

The upgraded model boasts several improvements:

• Doubled shine time, now exceeding 24 hours.
• Adjustable brightness, ranging from a gentle 5 lumens to a powerful 100 lumens.
• Battery light indicator for easy monitoring of power levels.
• USB backup charging feature, enabling 10 minutes of USB charging to provide up to 10 hours of light, with a full charge taking 2.5 hours.
• Color-coded battery light indicator for quick power level reference.
• Safety light mode.
• Weather resistance.

Beyond its environmental friendliness, the Consol Solar Jar® brings substantial social benefits. It offers safe lighting, minimizing the risk of fire associated with traditional paraffin, gas lamps, or candles, and it fosters educational opportunities in remote areas without ready access to electricity.

Paul Curnow, Chief Executive Officer of Ardagh Glass Packaging-Africa, emphasizes Ardagh Glass Packaging's commitment to making a positive impact in South Africa, with sustainability at the forefront of their business focus. The principles demonstrated by Sonnenglas, the company behind the Consol Solar Jar®, align with their expectations, reinforcing their confidence in the enduring appeal of the beloved Consol Solar Jar®.

Excitingly, to further underscore their commitment to sustainability, consumers will be offered an "upgrade and repurpose" option. They can return their previous Consol solar module to purchase the latest generation 6 module (only) at a discounted price. The returned modules will be repaired and utilized in various social projects for communities in need of light. Modules that cannot be repaired will be responsibly recycled or disposed of, ensuring a responsible and sustainable approach.
