Meet 2050 PEOPLE, see the idea to african lighting market approach, learn about experiments, highlighting microbial fuel cell Harvard School of Engineering, RECYCLO SOLAR Electrobox 230 V plug & play home electricity, Final assembly Africa Ghana Togo. Thanks to the World Bank IFC Team to bring the people first time together. LED lighting off-grid seems the first step, however no production in Africa so far. The exciting event showed once again how people can imagine 2050 having replaced CO2 kerosine lamps with modern renewable energy based lighting devices. The success is depending of installing a high level communicating network, easy-going, between the key players to get a jumpstart like in the micro-electronic industry when National semiconductor started in a Cafe in Silicon Valley to produce its integrated curcuits and 4bit microprocessors. Probably a combined off-grid village-grid for solar, bio-waste, hydrogen, to be tested with 500 homes in Togo/Zotti, starting with a 3 home-grid, will integrate key-players for the lighting alliance Africa, to create local solutions and production, that people make money to buy the products they need.
