Fine! Then you scale up to the grid if available. But there has to be a provision for less income earners and remote areas.

A country with limited generation capacity should channel most of her grid power for commercial use for the overall growth of the economy.

Solar power projects should be sustained off grid for urban low energy consumption residentials and remote areas.

In my case study it's quite the opposite. Ordinary residential basic need does not exceed 5KWH/day. Anything above this, is usually a waste.

Most of the average basic needs are: lightings, fans, TVs/satellites and recharging of handsets/laptops. All these have low energy options.
