90% of small #solar lamp owners bought an additional solar lighting product vs 38% of larger SHS customers. This could be because of affordability and/or products better meeting needs. New #energy #research in #Uganda: goo.gl/MzHkhz @UNCDFCleanStart

It was a pleasure meeting you @JeremyLeggett The view from the skyscraper gave me an idea of the future we are working towards for Africa's energy access. It was quite thought provoking, the SM100 in the backdrop of a dazzling city landscape
