If un-electrified slums are the target market, they are a small niche market. Then you are not changing the world.
Uh. Who said anything about UN-ELECTRIFIED slums?

Nasa very first post ko:

It can be done for just a hundred bucks (retail... cost to do is just 50 pesos). It's not useful the entire day, but it can cut down on the need for electricity. If it saves a household 100-200 pesos a month... with the only maintenance cost being to replace the water every few months... isn't it worth it?
"Cut down", ergo... gumagamit ng electricity nga yung bahay... kung walang kuryente, bakit kailangan magtipid ng kuryente? Laboooooo.

If you're urban poor, electricity can cost you from 500-1000 pesos. If you can save about 100 to 200 pesos on lights during the daytime (especially kung wala sa budget CFL o LED), that goes a long way for people making less than 5k a month.
