I would focus on incremental systems. Something like 10$ cellphone, 100$ for lighting, 1,000$ for PC, 10,000$ for AC.

Also, midrange UPS don't output square wave, I fact solar systems include a UPS for night time power. So, you could sell a ~3k, UPS system with bult in solar hookups where people can add pannels over time.



Thanks and completely agree. I'm going back home with an open mind. There's lots I will learn on the ground and will fine tune my approach according to the realities. I reckon Energy Efficiency will also play a big part in my approach down the road. Wanted to initially target a high end market segment with the least barriers to entry.
