From the world of the Sun Jar

Invented to bring light where there is no electricity. Then it went around the world.

Built in South Africa in 2013 to replace candles and paraffin lamps. Today the Sonnenglas stands on balconies in Berlin, on beaches in Japan and in townships near Johannesburg. Bought millions of times — and still the same jar.

The light in the lid: SOMO

It sits inside. It comes out. It fits every Sonnenglas.

Solar cells, battery and light in one module: the SOMO charges in the sun by day and glows in your Sun Jar at night. Take it out and use it on its own – as a flashlight, in another Sonnenglas or under the Lightshade.

SOMO has been around since 2022 – and it also fits every older Sonnenglas, right back to the first one from 2013. Your jar stays; only the light gets new.

The story

The Mini is made by hand in our solar factory at Victoria Yards, Johannesburg — in the same building, by the same fairly paid team as its big sibling. The glass has recycled content, and in the lid sits the SOMO Mini: it charges in the sun or via USB-C and gives up to 18 hours of warm white light. At 250 millilitres and just over eleven centimetres tall, the Mini is hardly bigger than a mug. It fits in a backpack, on the narrowest windowsill and next to any tent. What goes inside is up to you — sand from the last beach, a feather, a small memory.
