Fascinating. ..I wonder what electricity vending entails ? Selling cellphone and other device recharging, that sort of thing ?
The concept is to charge devices and also batteries for use in the home. The supplier looks to a corporate for start up costs, finds a franchisee who pays for the power generated via a pre-paid meter and then charges (pun) his customers for the electricity used to charge up their batteries or devices. There are a number of other renewable energy products available along with batteries and containers for those batteries for sale.

A great idea. When I worked for SAB we appointed a 3rd party group that built and placed refrigerated containers outside bottle stores in rural areas so the locals could buy a cold one. They were powered by generators but solar PV is a far better approach. Admittedly, that was in the late 90’s and into 2000’s and solar was still very pricey.
