There's not a single workable Solar energy product to be found in 3rd world countries, except for a few parabolic mirrors used as a solar stove.
All these new technologies aren't worth anything if they're not shared with the worlds that need them instead of being patentised and available to only those that can afford the license.
Every now and then a report appears claiming that new technology X will solve things like famine in Africa. But as long as violence an civilian wars are considered normal.. and fed by constant streams of western weapons.. they're of no use at all.
