Of course that is fuel cost only and does not take into account the cost of buying and maintaining a generator, also I’m sure many remote areas pay a lot more for diesel as a result of extra delivery fees. It is quite possible once extra costs are taken into account that diesel generated power is actually costing $0.80-$1 per Kwh. Is it any wonder solar proliferated in remote set ups well before grid connected systems became common.
