Startups for Good Challenge singles out one special solar system

Congrats to the inspiring 19-year-old and Thiel Foundation Fellow Eden Full for winning Mashable’s Startups for Good Challenge! Full’s extraordinary system, SunSaluter, rotates solar panels to face the sun and has the potential to increase their efficiency by up 40 percent.

Full’s solar system outshined seven other extraordinary projects and was selected the winner by a panel of four distinguished judges: the U.N. Foundation’s Aaron Sherinian, Mashable’s Sarah Kessler, entrepreneur Yossi Vardi, and the Economist’s Matthew Bishop. Her award: $10,000 and a social good award from the U.N. Foundation.

Keep up the good work, Eden! We will continue to follow and champion you!
