Distributing solar cells and batteries in rural areas would probably be cheaper and help more people.
From a guy that installed a 5kw system on my house in Mexico, Solar non base load systems are so inconsistent that they are a poor choice if you want to really help people. You need base load power generation otherwise you will have very unstable power grids.
It took India 16 years from planning to operation. So it will not only be cheaper, but a lot faster as well.
India is building a ton of solar as well.
