At its core, the facility uses lithium-ion batteries—the same tech in your smartphone, just scaled up 500,000 times. But here's the kicker: it’s paired with an AI-powered energy traffic controller that predicts weather patterns and electricity demand better than Panama’s best meteorologist. Read MoreDownload files
Solar power in Somalia is, in 2012, being considered for development in the near future. Two items that are being made available in seven other African countries in the "Light Years Ahead" program that are being considered are solar lanterns and solar street lights. India has a very successful solar lamp program. A solar lamp costs about the same as a few months of kerosene for.
