How can we use Solar power effectively

I read this interesting letter in the Daily Monitor today. Dr. Da Silva shows some very interesting comparisons on energy usage by Ugandans and other nationalities.

I think I shall look out for the UGX 30, 000 solar lamp and may be next year Ministry of Energy shall talk about it more as well. It may help reduce the number of incidences we read about in the newspapers of babies and children burning to death when left in the house alone with a candle.
