Inveneo is a nonprofit organization that brings telephony, computing, and the internet to underdeveloped countries. Inveneo designs and delivers tools of information and communications technology (ICT) to organizations that provide vital services such as healthcare, education, economic development, and relief to rural communities. Inveneo provides open source software and hardware products that use low power and can operate on a 12volt car battery. The 12 volt battery can also be charged using alternative energy sources such as solar, or wind power.

For example, some places in Africa have very limited electricity and the electricity bill can also be pricey. Inveneo provides solar panels that charge up a car battery which can then power up a computer for up to 48 hours. Using a low power computer and LCD monitor can save a lot more on energy use and can be a more efficient alternative than providing old donated PCs with CRT monitors. Older computers and CRT monitors use a lot more power and over time, you can make up the costs of purchasing the low power computers from the difference in electricity saved. Having solar panels can also be more cost efficient than paying for electricity as it can cost up to $20 a day in certain locations in Africa.
