It would be great and unprecedented, IF TRUE, in my view.  To me this an issue of unrealistic promises rather than a market spoiler. Would like to be proved wrong, if and when.

Thanks Evan.There can be no excuse for this unfriendly attack on entrepreneurship.Solar products are not off-the-shelve products and require massive investments in pushing them to the market.Please see their Newswire Release here: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/skypower-to-donate-two-mill....Lighting Africa (Lighting Africa), for many years did a lot to create market awareness and 'truth in advertisement'.

I agree with you!  It is very risky business to dump free products into a market which has already demonstrated its ability to work without charity.
