What connects two billion people without dependable electricity with driverless vehicles, virtual reality tech, and the 'Internet of Things'? Absolutely enormous commercial potential. Energy services in the developing world represent a $100 billion commercial market. So where are the proportionate investments? Though driven by ethical convictions, Selling Daylight is explicitly commercial. It is a dynamic business strategy for how to make money supplying dependable and versatile energy services to energy-poor countries and the wider world. At the heart of this is the justification that the user should be positioned at the centre of their energy services if we are to make a positive impact on global energy poverty. Stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems have been marginalized as an 'alternative' to grid electricity, when in fact their benefits represent a stronger proposition than the grid itself in many parts of the world. The focus must be on quality and value, not just selling hardware at the lowest cost. There are more applications of stand-alone PV than there are apps for smartphones. We now have a unique opportunity to do for energy services what mobile phones have done for communications. Everything that is described in this ground-breaking book can be implemented now, within existing energy-related expenditure, using widely accessible technology and easily acquired skills.-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Photovoltaic power generation $z Developing countries. 650 0 $a Photovoltaic power generation $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a Solar energy industries $z Developing countries. 650 0 $a Energy development $z Developing countries. 650 0 $a Energy consumption $z Developing countries. 650 0 $a Power resources $z Developing countries. 650 7 $a Solar energy industries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01125045 650 7 $a Photovoltaic power generation $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01062173 650 7 $a Photovoltaic power generation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01062167 650 7 $a Energy consumption. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909986 650 7 $a Energy development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910034 650 7 $a Energy industries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910110 650 7 $a Power resources. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074275 651 7 $a Developing countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242969 650 7 $a Fotovoltaikindustrie $2 gnd 650 7 $a Sonnenenergie $2 gnd 651 7 $a EntwicklungslaÌnder $2 gnd 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20211019011233.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC15608830A111ECB04C9E6E4CECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
