Time to go for solar energy - letter to the editor saying Uganda should go Solar. I would suggest using Solar heating, because it makes economic sense. Using solar for generating electricity at this time usually does not make sense for most applications. Of course it depends on the cost of existing power, are the lines already run (cost money), and the stability of existing supplies. It may make more sense because of a poor infrastructure to go with solar.
In Egypt, there is a group installing free Solar Water heaters in the slums of Cairo. Article from NPR In Cairo Slum, the Poor Spark Environmental Change. I believe that Solar Water Heating should spread more because of the cost of gas/fuel for heating water. All a solar water heating set up needs is black plastic and some pipes. My grandfather built one from scratch years ago for an above ground pool he had.
