Mark Bent of SunNight Solar

Mark Bent founded two companies--SunNight Solar sells solar lights to commercial and government clients; BoGoLight is a non-profit organization that provides lights to charities and under-developed countries. Bent's solar lights last for 20 years and remove the need and expense for kerosene as a primary light source, a real benefit for developing countries.
