The world we live in is full of Diversity, very unequal and not very inclusive, however, with the emergence of the internet and social media, these gaps can be bridged through education. To access it there is a need to deploy Solar in areas deprived of electrical power to grant them access to the internet which will translate to improvements in education.
To achieve the goal, we must think outside the box and engage in the design of financial products that can accommodate these goals but at the same time provide the necessary structure to allow communities to leverage these assets for future growth. Having said this, one such product is "Leveraging Energy as a Service", where a project developer, builds a solar installation and collects Certificates of Emission Reduction and Renewable Energy Credits in addition to the charges generated by the service.
After five to seven years, the developer has recovered their investment, leaving him in a position to pass these fixed and financial assets to the community. In doing so, we move closer to a more inclusive with better wealth distribution world.
