India’s Rural Poor Give up on Power Grid, Go Solar

India's rural poor give up on power grid, go solar

<p>In this May 24, 2011 photograph, Pushpa Gowda, center, laughs with her family and neighbors on the evening after they installed solar-powered light in her house in Nada village on the outskirts of Mangalore, India. Across India, thousands of homes are receiving their first light through small companies and aid programs that are bypassing the central electricity grid to deliver solar panels to the rural poor. Those customers could provide the human energy that advocates of solar power have been looking for to fuel a boom in the next decade. (AP Photo/Rafiq Maqbool)</p>
