Okay, here's an addition: paint the interior of these homes with phosphorescent paint to prolong the exposure to light. Paint the exterior of homes that border major streets if night lamps are non-existent. Remember how long the glow-in-the-dark toys emitted light? Find the optimum materials and cost then deploy.

@garyjov: IN Manila and other city slums, where homes are wall-to-wall next to each other, there is no room for windows, and people have no money to buy translucent roofing :)

[garyjov]

nice invention but I think semi transparent plastic roofing is better when it comes to brightness...open your windows for more natural light and ventilation especially in overcrowded areas... this invention is only good at daytime anyway....

Should seal it a bit for when it rains. That's a hole in the roof after all.

Jow much time will it take to a western company to produce and patent this?

It's a fantastic idea, hope they've got patent registered to bring light to the resourceless

[alimodiandude]

@peterpanda1970: Good idea, but in places like these, people are too worried about surviving to worry about patents, 401k's, and stocks

[julioromeok]

great idea man :)

What a clever use of discarded plastic bottles and solar energy!
