Solar photo-voltaic (PV) and wind offer to bring both clean energy
and clean water to remote regions and peri-urban areas in the
world, outside the conventional electric grids. One out of seven
people has no electric power available that would bring light to
the home, cook the food, pump to access water and purify or re-use
it. Off-grid systems are scalable and can be designed to any size,
from household to village and community levels. The renewable
energy cost development is remarkable and can make electric power
affordable also for the poorest. Renewables promise an end to the
era where energy security is closely related to geopolitics. The
expenditure is up-front capital cost while "fuel" is free. With
renewables, there is no geopolitical pressure where one country has
deposits of a fossil fuel while another does not. This book aims to
show how clean water and clean energy are reachable for all while
contributing to both a better climate and a healthier life.
