Well, as good as this news is, unfortunately you have to live in Laos to be able to take advantage of the offer. In Laos, fewer than half the entire population has access to the grid and therefore sources of electricity for lighting, heating, or anything else is highly prized. Families typically use kerosene for their lighting needs but it leads to poor air pollution inside the home and community, and poses a fire hazard. The average household will spend between $4.00-6.60 each month on kerosene, but Sunlabob, a Laotian provider of solar thermal and photovoltaics can provide solar lighting systems for only $3.80 per month. Times are certainly changing when solar panels in 3rd world countries are cheaper than fossil fuels!
