Doesn't this model work for cell phones because they are really cheap and the provider doesn't care if they get lost/stop paying? Afaik solar panels are expensive to make so how does this make any sense?
- meow 15y agoA 50W solar panel isn't all that costly (150-200$). This model is just a way to 'loan' these devices for consumers who can't afford even those. You will be surprised by how much utility these small capacity solar panels might provide even for those Indian consumers connected to grid (if they provide 2 lamps/ 1 fan as mentioned). This is because in rural areas, power cuts of around 8 hours/per day are very common.
