The energy-poor, tend to be among the poorest people in their countries, and
. . . cannot afford the high upfront costs of a quality solar solution.
About 400 million people in India, live in remote villages, and
. . . don’t have access to an electricity grid.
. . . Millions more have only very limited access to electricity.
Although distributed solar based solutions are available,
. . . high up front costs keep them out of reach,
. . . from many who have limited income, and
. . . cannot obtain bank financing.
Simpa Networks, has developed a basic, portable solar home system,
. . . that is simple to install and affordable.
It provides:
. . . . . . 2 to 3 LED lights,
. . . . . . 40-watt solar panel, and
. . . . . . 26 Ah battery.
Users pre-pay via cell phone, based on actual usage, and
. . . each payment adds to the total purchase price of the solar home system.
Once fully paid, the solar home system unlocks, and
. . . delivers free electricity for the expected 10-year life of the product.
When we give a family an extra,
. . . 4 hours of light every night,
. . . 4 hours of extend day,
. . . 4 hours more time to be together,
. . . 4 hours more time to work,
. . . 4 hours more time to study,
. . . 4 hours more time to talk,
. . . 4 hours more time of light,
. . . 4 hours more time of life, every day.
