Solar Getting Cheaper Than Diesel Generators

SunEdison is replacing diesel engines in villages in India and other Asian countries.
A 430-kilowatt array of solar panels installed by Optimal Power Systems in eastern Malaysia brings power to a thousand people in a remote village. An inverter has the capacity to convert about 250 kilowatts of DC power from the panels into AC power that’s distributed to the village. On sunny days when the solar panels operate at full capacity, excess electricity is stored in batteries.
