Alaska has more than 175 remote village populations,
. . . that rely almost exclusively on diesel fuel for electricity generation, and
. . . heating oil for heat.
Electricity generated by diesel fuel in some rural Alaskan villages can cost
. . . $1.00 per kilowatt-hour or more, which is more than
. . . 8 times the national average.
Alaska’s solar resource is comparable to that of Germany,
. . . which leads the world in solar installations with roughly,
. . . 2 average-sized 250-Watt solar photovoltaic panels,
. . . for every person in the country.
