There are approximately five million villages worldwide without power and 1,8 billion people whose household is not connected to the electrical grid.
One option would be installation of a small wind turbine, but it is very expensive, for example, in the UK, the average installation cost is 5’873 USD/kW, most of which are mast and foundation cost. It does not pay off in the mainland, because won`t get the appropriate wind.
In southern countries on rainy days, or during rainy seasons, solar panels fail to generate enough electricity and the batteries cost a lot, have short lifetimes and are environmentally burdensome.
On the northern parts of the world, there are areas where aren`t any renewable energy alternatives to the Airborne Turbine. There isn`t enough daylight during winter for solar panels and in the mainland or areas with forests and mountains a small wind turbine won`t get the appropriate wind on the ground. Therefore there is a need for additional new source of electricity.
