Prashant Mandal shares a small house with his wife and four kids,and survives on less than $2 a day. Yet,despite Mandal' s modest income,he spends 20 percent of his income on solar energy,an expenditure (支出) which he says is key to helping his children to study.
Across the globe,about 1. 2 billion people live without electricity. Such limitations are not only inconvenient,but also put people in low-income countries at greater risk of having serious health conditions. People living without electricity typically rely on kerosene lamps,and other harmful light sources,which can lead to bums,injuries,poisoning and other risks.
Realizing the need for a more efficient energy source,a lot of companies have developed business models that enable poor people to purchase solar energy.
SimpaNetworks,which focuses its efforts on rural India,is one such company that's found a way to make solar energy affordable and accessible to people in need. Customers are charged a small down payment for a high-quality solar system. Then,through its “progressive purchase^ model,they pay in advance for a designated (指定的) amount of energy consumption. Each payment counts toward the final purchase price.
A number of other companies have found ways to get solar energy into the hands,anci homes of people who typically can’t afford electricity. MPOWER D. a New ork-based company,invented an (充气式的) solar light in 2012 that is powered by the sun,and is also able to store solar energy.
“Energy poverty is solvable if we all work together,” says John Salzinger,MPOWERD’s co-founder. “Every single consumer purchase helps us reduce costs,and then we pass those savings on to those who need affordable light most. We automatically enable our customers to help others,while helping the environment,by simply making a purchase."
