This is, counterintuitively, degrowth in action.

Replacing twenty years' worth of kerosene, gasoline, wood, etc, with a single solar microgrid, is an example of providing higher quality of life with fewer resources.

Good to see some good news these days.
It‘s awesome to see. Lots of good news anything solar. My hometown in Germany is building solar like crazy.
It's a great option for lots of the world that is not already heavily developed, and probably a good option for ALL small remote towns globally, even if just a backup/supplemental source of power. Yay.
