Solar power in rural Madagascar

I came across this video on Afrigadget about a small company called Madasoleil which is bringing solar power to rural Madagascar. This video is episode 56 of a video podcast called MyNameIsBill on Revver:

This video is inspiring if you consider the possibilities. I’d love to know which panels they are using and what the cost of those panels are. Consider what you could do to mitigate the power failures due to Eskom’s failing infrastructure with cost effective and efficient panels that you could conceivably lay on your roof or in an array on your property.
