In a bold talk about a true leapfrog moment, Amar Inamdar introduces us to proud owners of off-grid solar kits -- and explains how this technology has the opportunity to meet two extraordinary goals: energy access for all and a low-carbon future. \"every household a proud producer as well as consumer of energy,\" Inamdar says. \"That's the democracy of energy.\" (Followed by a brief Q&A with TED Curator Chris Anderson)\n
