Currin Corporation (Midland) worked with small firm in Guatemala 15 years ago to make small solar lamp for non-electrified homes in Central America. Aimed for cost of $30/each, but in small quantities, cost came to $55, which for marketing in remote regions, required selling price of $90. Few sales resulted. Learned several lessons. I assume you are using LED lamps. Do you have distribution in Uganda? Going there (Kabale) at end of February as part of ecunebical program. Ced Sometime I would enjoy sharing similar experiences.
