Without more spending after the initial investment, a solar lamp can easily serve users for nearly five to seven years, "Ahuya said.
"Because some vendors can't afford lanterns, we offer the option of installment payment," he said.
"We had doubts that some people might run away with lanterns, but it had many advantages, which made hawkers our loyal customers," Ahuya said.
Ashok Kumar, a street vendor, said, "When I turned on the solar light, my savings increased.
Now I use this money to pay for my only daughter's tuition.
Because many vendors are unable to access the public distribution system, they buy black kerosene, sometimes at twice the market price.
Ulja said it intends to reduce the cost of solar lamps through partnerships with microfinance institutions, companies and other charitable organizations.
"We plan to make a pan. -
India has initiated and is negotiating with various non-governmental organizations that have shown interest in our energy solutions.
