Off-Grid Solar Brings Hope To Remote Villages
Electricity is a convenience that is often taken for granted, since it is all around us. It can be found everywhere in our everyday lives, our homes, vehicles, phones, our work. Almost every part of our daily routine involves electricity in some form or another.
In places like Indonesia, an effort has been put forth to supply electricity to millions of people in recent years. Between 2005 and 2020, Indonesia went from 85% to nearly 97% coverage. However, there are still more than 500,000 individuals in Indonesia who live beyond the grid.
Years before electrical grids can reach these areas, off-grid solar systems like this are providing people with limited access to electricity. Although there are still obstacles, experts claim that off-grid solar systems on the island may be repeated throughout the large archipelago nation, delivering sustainable energy to isolated areas.
“I couldn’t really study at night before,” said Antonius Pekambani, a 17-year-old student in Ndapaymi village, east Sumba. “But now I can.” “Off-grid solar projects face hurdles too,” said Jetty Arlenda, an engineer with Sumba Sustainable Solutions. “The organization’s scheme is heavily reliant upon donors to subsidize the cost of solar equipment, which many rural residents would be unable to afford at their market cost.”
