There’s terrible poverty in the world. Food Poverty. Clothes Poverty. Shelter Poverty. There is equally terrible Light poverty in the world! The world will never be better without eliminating the light poverty. The Solar PV technology is here to support create the enlightened society The world of poverty
Light Richness is the Barometer of
World Energy Consumption Vs Kerosene Consumption World Energy Consumption 785 X1013 Energy Reqd By 2 billion people 24X103 (0.0000000008%)
