Abstract : One of the greatest challenges in today’s world is to satisfy the energy needs of a growing population, in a sustainable way. In Developing countries, actual electrification of rural areas is hindered by high costs and unreliability of service, which often discourage rural communities to avail energy services even when they are available. This study aimed at better understanding the energy struggle of Indian rural communities, and propose efficient technological solutions to address it. Taking the case of a community located in the Himalaya region, a field based, participatory and bottom-up approach is taken to assess the community needs, expectations, and actual resources. A prototype of solar panel using machine learning-assisted automatic sun tracker system is proposed to provide sustainable and affordable electricity to the community.
