> Unfair distribution of wealth is a different problem

Unfortunately, all problems are eventually going to come down to this. Or many problems are, if not "all"

We can't fix a lot of the problems facing our society and our planet with "only wealthy can afford this" solutions

And I think, we can't fix a lot of technical problems if we make everything about money distribution.

Besides, solar plus battery became really cheap. And get cheaper every day.

And this work to connect such microgrids is potentially beneficial for poor areas all around the world.

But no, it doesn't solve the issue of extreme poverty, but why would it?
