Default 19 hours power cut a day!!
I don't know whether you guys know power cut or not... but I am suffering it... its totally no electricity and no nothing... no electricial tool and nothing...
I am from this background!! I don't have much options... either start a business beside a road or go abroad for work... anyway, I want to do something in my own country... but the situation is 14 hours power cut a day and it will go until 19...
Suddenly, an Idea came to mind... If only if i could start something to generate elctricitry in low price.. I can serve my country as well as I can earn...
Though there are many generators and batteries companies but it is beyond average Nepali budget...
So I am hoping some ideas from this forum....

What if someone lent you a power generator from the US? How would you sell the electricity in Nepal?

Sounds like a good idea, if there is a need for something, you got to supply it!

Solar or wind? - little operating costs after the initial setup & If there's apartment blocks you could install one unit per block and charge a set price for a connection to the system

Arrow Re: 19 hours power cut a day!!
Thankyou guys for the great ideas!! As I have mentioned you earlier; We got petrol and diseal generator in market... but most of people cannot affort... and also petrol price is around $1.2 per liter... and the average income of the people here is about $2 a day(if he gets job).. so in this condition... Many be the wind and solar concept is great!! But how?? Solar would be best...
Couple of people are starting it...but very expensive!! umm.. lets see!!

I also think solar would be the best investment, also if you suddenly would need warm water, it would be easily adjustable compared to some huge battery or something.

A big 1time investment though.

What if you sold solar panels that could power up a person's house? I believe there are kits available in the US.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for someone to go to Nepal from oversees and start up a small little energy company.

The government in Nepal is not exactly stable at the moment. Am I right Aneel? The party that just took over is communist. Communist regimes are not exactly lenient to startup ventures.

Another idea could be hydrogen. You would get that from some water source. I do agree solar powered is better, but maybe you can't go solar powered.
