Bhutan: On the Wings of Light - Part I

Rule #1: Use the power source that makes the most sense for the location. In remote areas, that means wind-solar-or both (hybrid) plus batteries for storage.

Rule #2: Don't use batteries that can leak - meaning, use 'sealed' batteries for zero maintenance.

Rule #3: Electric power improves the quality of life for everyone, even if it's intermittent - better than none at all.
