Why is Salone not using more Solar energy

I asked the question on facebook and this is what I know so far: the duty on generators in much lower that the duty on solar panels and inverters so most people prefer to buy their generators.

Backed by the fact that solar powered equipment is hard to come by, especially in Africa where there is a lot of Sun, the argument against Solar energy use in Salone gets stronger.

I still don't know the duty on importing solar panels and inverters into Sierra Leone so if you have the current info, please pass it on.

Notwithstanding, I then found out that a friend of mine, Katib, is an expert on the subject, so we have decided to take the journey of trying to introduce solar energy to more of the Salone population, hoping to convince them that it is a viable compliment to other forms of energy.
