Solar Powered Rural Banking

Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) and Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) operating in rural India, experience unreliable power supply and intermittent load shedding, which inhibit regular business operations. These organizations install Inverters/Diesel Generators, to provide power back-up for keeping business as usual. Such methods entail significant capital expenditure and also deemed unfriendly to the ecology.
