You've lost me. According to the article, it is cheaper for these people to use than kerosene or the other sources.

It is good, But it also describes one of the great ironies of solar 
electricity. Solar electricity is so expensive that the people who 
find it most affordable are the extremely poor, living on a few 
dollars a day. It is too high priced to have as much appeal to the 
more prosperous.
