We think it is difficult to install a good renewable energy network in the farwest corners of African countries. The cost of equipment, transport difficulties added to a lack of qualified people to install and maintain the equipment discouraged. Such a project seems unsustainable. How to install a solar energy system sustainable in the most remote villages and make the project sustainable?

Create a partnership network for solar kits, ensure supply. Ensure that transport is possible, if not also create partnerships for transport in this direction. Identify the beneficiary villages. Identify people to train, for stability, women. Train women leaders per village. Create microcredits around the solar project to support sustainability. Install kits with persons empowered.
