The Ovia Integrated Power Reserve by Sophie Wijaya is created for regions in the developing world that still experience frequent power cuts and shortage. Since a lack of electricity directly leads to loss of productivity after sunset and proves to be a big hindrance for small businesses, people at home as well as children who need to study. Most of these people have traditionally relied on fuel-based lighting options though they are generally considered bad for health because of the toxic fumes they produce and tend to be a financial burden since the fuel required to use them is often costly.
Moreover, the spread of electronic telecommunication in the developing world has also resulted in these regions requiring additional power though they are forced to use backup generators to fulfill their needs so far. The Ovia Integrated Power Reserve thus looks to serve as an energy efficient power reserve that can recharge itself using grid power when the supply is there and can be used to power a laptop, cellphones, lights and other small electronics when there is a power cut.
Aimed at the active user of new technology between the ages of 18 to 40 years, the Ovia Integrated Power Reserve can provide sufficient backup power for indoor use in a home or office with a maximum floor space of 600 sq. ft. The lower to middle income consumer can also purchase and use the device without putting in a huge down payment. The device can also be carried from room to room that makes it better than fixed installation and can be carried around by traveling salesmen, students living away from home etc.
