With the advent of tiny rooftop solar panels electricity could be accessible to millions. African
governments are struggling to meet to electric needs of the poorest of the poor
living in rural areas.
Living off-grid may be a lifestyle choice to some and a
fact of everyday living to the poorest of the poor. However, tiny rooftop solar
panels and high-efficiency LED lights across the African continent could provide enough electricity to charge cell phones.
Cell phones are vital for people in
rural areas with no access to banks in order to send and receive money, access medical
