Solar Photovoltaics On Wheels In Haiti

Here’s another example of a portable solar photovoltaic solution, currently being deployed in earthquake-ravaged Haiti. There is no doubt in my mind that disaster relief is a great target segment for such a solution. The incidence of disasters is up-trending due to the confluence of climate change and population growth; there are more incidents of extreme weather, and they affect more people.  Other key applications, it seems to me, are military, off-grid events, and movie sets.

Having said this, the challenges to the businesses in this space are competitive differentiation and barrier to competitive entry.
