We believe that existing distribution, sales, and maintenance networks for other goods and services could be adapted to supply and provide customer support for solar-power systems as well. For example, bicycle mechanics, who are plentiful in Africa and rural India, or small shop and kiosk owners could be trained to install and maintain these systems.
一旦这种技术得以完善，我们就可以集中开发自给自足的商业模式。我们相信可以对其他产品和服务的现有分销、销售和维护网络进行调整，令其为太阳能发电系统提供客户支持。比方说非洲和印度乡下都有不少自行车维修点、报摊和小商店，可以对店主进行培训，让他们学会安装并维护这些系统。
