Maybe they don't have much wind. Each area is different and this must work for them. Their old cost was $589 a person /year or $11.32 month. Not too bad compared to developed countries at an average $150 a month. Solar and coconut bio oil with battery back up is a good plan. Maybe they don’t have much wind.
