Sure, it's not as good as a cheap, reliable energy supply from a national grid but it might be an option for those off-grid... like rural rice farmers and testers during northern european winters ;-)

Others doubt the appeal of off-grid solutions. “The poor...want grid-based power like urban households that can run TV sets at the flick of a switch,” says Lydia Powell, senior fellow and energy expert at the New Delhi-based Observer Research Foundation.

If you have enough sunshine to grow rice, you have enough to generate your 250Wh per day with Solar PV for well under the $100 target price of his bicycle, and you don't have to waste a couple of hours when you could otherwise be working to get it.
