Haiti switches on to solar power as sustainable electricity solution

Rashmee Roshan Lall: Solar energy is clean, green and can help to solve Haiti's power crisis. Now the world's largest solar hospital is lighting the way.

For Haiti, the hospital is a shining symbol of what the future might look like, powered by the island's plentiful sunshine. Solar energy is definitely the future for Haiti, says Daniel Schnitzer, whose non-profit EarthSpark International plans to expand the country's first prepay micro grid with a 100-kilowatt solar power system to cover all of Les Anglais town centre in southern Haiti by June.
