Solar powered healthcare in developing countries

Nature Energy volume 3, pages 705–707 (2018)Cite this article

Subjects

Pilot projects show that solar power can overcome this but, to expand further, more careful trials measuring health outcomes and better integration of energy and health policy are required.
