Now my brain has cycled onto "Five Minutes to Midnight" by Heaven 17.
And I just went to One Minute to Midnight, because I watched Holiday Inn over the weekend.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And I went to Midnight at the Oasis because, well, apparently I am a horndog.

I love that about you. Rollerskating Horndog - that'd make a good t-shirt.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And I am going to Threat Level Midnight just to continue the trend.

My dad had said that installing solar panels in Ja for anything other than heating water was prohibitively expensive, and I just couldn't work out how it could be viable for remote Indian villages and not so in Jamaica.
It really depends on what you mean by electric service. The articles I've seen about solar for remote villages mostly just use the solar power to charge batteries for PCs, radios, cell phones and a couple of hours of light a night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know enough about quantifying energy produced, but these are among the Barefoot College's successes.
Honestly, if a village doesn't have any electricity, charging batteries is a great deal.

Why is it that phone cords have to be curly? Just so they have to be untangled every five minutes?

It is a huge deal. It's cost effective to set up that level of solar energy, but for 24-hour service for HVAC, cooking, toasters, blenders and the like, not so much.
