Think about it: poverty, lack of infrastructure, unequal distribution of wealth. Developing nations are plagued with what seems like bad luck and little hope for sustainable development, especially as survival is the main concern from day to day. The few resources that the nation may possess are controlled by the wealthy and the powers that be. However, there is one resource that is undoubtedly available to all: solar energy. More than ever before, underprivileged people in remote regions of the world have the opportunity to get connected and provide power to their communties. Organizations from Engineers Without Borders to The Solar Electric Light Fund to the World Bank are providing money and equipment for off-the-grid solar arrays in these regions. Currently more than 2 billion people on this planet lack electricity.
