Small-scale solar installations are bringing reliable electricity to communities long left off national grids.Micro-grid projects funded by a mix of NGOs and private investors have cut the cost of rural electrification dramatically over the last five years. Battery storage improvements mean villages can now run refrigeration, water pumps, and schools' computer labs well past sunset. Local technicians are trained on-site, turning each installation into a small but durable jobs program alongside its energy benefits.
