Dear Peter, et al., I used PV panels in Mexico for lighting but ended up looking for other appropriate technology alternatives, built on site and repairable there... Two possibilities that seem reasonable are: 1.) LED's powered by a gravity driven generator, a heavy weight hauled up a tree when lights are needed. Or 2.) a twig burning lantern, using the downfeed Rocket pattern. Long twigs burn and the flames enter a vertical chimney that is peppered with holes, or vertical slits, showing light through a glass cover. I'll try to interest a student to pursue these ideas this winter.
