Company chairman Bob Hertzberg – a former speaker of the California State Assembly – has formulised the plan because of the massive need for communications technology, coupled with dependable power, in the developing world. G24i’s chargers will be pioneered by Master IT in Kenya. Last month G24i, which is headquartered in Wentloog on the outskirts of the Welsh capital, announced the world’s first production of commercial grade DST solar cells, marking the commercialisation of 18 years of research and development in the tec
