Solar Electric Light Fund, Jigawa

The Solar Light Electric Fund(SELF) in Jigawa Nigeria, is incubating a rural solar ecosystem, "...While many villages can benefit from solar electric power, most have little experience using it and no market mechanisms to provide it...this project will strive to spawn a grassroots solar industry that can sustain its momentum with new jobs and businesses that focus on system installation and maintenance...",Kyocera. "...The solar-powered micro-enterprise buildings are the project centerpieces in each village. Each center provides electricity to 6 very small businesses that would otherwise not have access to electricity. The shared PV system, much less expensive than individual systems for each shop, allow tailors to move up from manual sewing machines to electric, barbers, from manual clippers to electric, and similar improvements in productivity for other types of businesses...",SELF.

I think that this is a good start for the idea of a technology that can be improved with an excellent promising future. Because if we can use the sun as a source of energy for a cleaner and healthier environment why not use it. And by the way the entire earth will thank to those innovative people. And especially in Nigeria it will be highly appreciated.
