Imagine how eerie it would be, out on the streets at night with no sources of light. You wouldn\u2019t leave your home.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>What Heiko Stieber, project manager at SMA Sunbelt GmbH, experienced in Haiti is reality for around a billion people in countless regions of the world that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cia.gov\/the-world-factbook\/field\/electricity-access\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not connected to their country\u2019s central utility grids<\/a>. And the prospect of these regions ever becoming electrified looks gloomy. Thousands of kilometers of power lines would need to be installed, operated and maintained. But this is unlikely to happen, due to not only a lack of technical resources but also investment policies that favor megaplants and power lines for heavy industry from governments hoping to benefit from tax revenue and enhanced prestige.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the long-term picture, however, the electrification of rural communities is absolutely vital for a country\u2019s development. Without electricity, the digitalized world remains out of reach and social and economic participation and development are hampered. Those able to afford the luxury can light their homes with oil lamps or use diesel generators to produce electricity to power their cell phones and televisions. But the emissions from diesel generators are toxic to the environment \u2013 and all the more so given the rapidly growing population.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The solution &#8211; Off-grid systems based on renewable energy sources.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_full flex_column_div  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_promobox \"><div class=\"swe-special-images swe-special-images-1 subtitle\"><div class=\"image-container image-container-image-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sonnenallee.sma.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/900x666_OFFGRID_01.jpg\" alt=\"Diesel-Aggregate auf einem Marktplatz in Nigeria\" aria-label=\"Diesel generators in a market square in Nigeria (left picture).
