- Amped Innovation — At Amped Innovation, we design breakthrough products for people living on less than four dollars per day. Our first product, the Blossom, is a solar home power system which is the lowest-cost and highest-performance product in its class, at one third the price and twice the power handling of competing systems. We built the Blossom with asoftware-enabled Pay-As-You-Go interface, which allows customers to purchase it in payment installments that are equivalent to what they currently spend on kerosene, while providing much more light, cell-phone charging, and ability to run appliances like televisions and sewing machines.
