But the biggest help projects like REDIMENA can provide in this context is encouraging distributed, individual solar generation. The poor in the developing world without electricity access face the individual equivalent of the financing hurdle REDIMENA is looking to address for larger projects: they’re unable to pull together the money for a one-time purchase of a home solar array, so they rely on traditional fuels like kerosene which can be purchased in small, discrete increments. But the cumulative cost of those purchases is enormous in comparison to the one-off investment in something like a distributed solar system. Helping those people make that one-time purchase saves them much more over the long haul, helps cut energy poverty, and of course comes with all sorts of attendant health and environmental benefits. thinkprogress.org/climate/2013/11/07/2910671/renewable-energy-global-poor/
