The issue of light in our country has become something else, at the moment we have not had light in my area for days now. The annoying part is we are not using a prepaid meter because my landlord has refused to install it for us and we cannot install it ourselves because it will carry the landlord's information. Nepa just keeps increasing their bills every month.
Just like you said the best solution is solar panels but the money for it is also high.
It's well with us
