[font size=3]Some 2 million Mexicans living in rural areas are are set to benefit from solar energy as companies work to install solar panels in the southern states of Chiapas and Oaxaca, home to large Indigenous populations, the Mexico's official news agency Notimex reported Sunday.
The energy company Enlight has launched a program, in partnership with the social enterprise Ilumexico, that promotes the development of solar energy systems in rural communities through the expansion of solar power in cities.
Through the project, the more solar power systems set up by the company in big cities like Mexico City and Guadalajara, the more funding goes towards helping provide single-family solar panels in rural communities.
