"India Goes Solar"


India currently has a huge defficit in electricity; while mayor cities have normal electrical services, most of its villages have no electricity or potable water. The solution to the electricity problem has been given by a private company who sells solar panels at only $150 us dllrs.
Because India has a sunny clime all the year, this seems like the perfect solution; villagers are specially grateful with this service, because, although they had to pay the banc who financed the solar lamps, once they are through with the debts, they will have free light virtually forever.
I think it would be interesting to bring this company to Sonora, or ither create a similar one, since we also have sunlight the whole year an is very cheap.
