<p>High-tech meets Low-tech in the Thar Desert, India</p>
<p>I took this photo in 1999, while trekking through the Western Desert of Rajasthan , a province of India near the Pakistani border.</p>
<p>The young man in the foreground had a solar panel on his house roof. In a truly ironic twist, the solar panel’s purpose was to power a small fridge that kept coca-cola cold to be sold to tourists. (He could obtain a high profit margin as there was no competition.)</p>
<p id="llxe12">I had to admire his entrepreneurial spirit.</p>
<p id="llxe13">There is a real opportunity though, for solar power to truly empower those living off the grid, and in very rural locations. Solar power is valuable in that it requires no nation-wide infrastructure to work.</p>
<p>Solar power can be owned and administered by small communities. It is independent of fuel prices and tariffs. And it is even more useful in desert locations, where power is often obtained by burning the already sparse vegetation.</p>
