How big is the problem?
Globally, 13% of people live in energy poverty.
3 Billion do not have access to clean fuels for cooking.
Those that gained access lost it due to affordability.
What is preventing it from being solved?
Non-existent power infrastructure
Intermittent power.
High cost
What are the current workarounds?
Throwing away solar equipment like with traditional garbage
Buying new
Going without
Candles
Firewood-leads to deforestation an indoor pollution - chronic long term effects
What solutions have already been tried?
Importation of low cost, low quality solar panels
Need
Millions of solar panels are being discarded every year, some of them still useable. There are millions of people without access to electricity all over the world.
Approach
Collect useable solar panels as well as batteries and distribute them to communities in need.
Benefits
Panels and batteries that would have ended up in landfills, have their use extended and provides communities in developing countries access to electricity.
Competition
Battery and solar panel companies are recycling used panels which is great if they have no useful life left in them. However, if they are still useful beyond a certain threshold, there is an opportunity for it to provide a limited capacity of use at a very reasonable cost.
