e.quinox could be the answer to satisfying the energy needs of places away from the grid

In far flung villages where power lines have never been heard of, electricity is an alien concept that the people there yet haven’t had the pleasure to use. And so, they use fuels like kerosene in small quantities to satisfy their daily energy needs. That’s where the e.quinox concept comes into play. This system by James Dyson is somewhat of a virtual grid. Battery Boxes developed work as energy carriers, by which people can access electricity. The 5Ah gel-based lead acid battery can power up LED lamps for up to 25-30 hours while people can also connect their cell phones, radios and other small devices. Once depleted, users can connect the drained out Battery Boxes to the Energy Kiosk where they are left to charge using solar panels, and pick up a fully charged one for a continued use.

Just the way a milk man takes away your empty milk bottles for filled ones, the e.quinox system will work out. This indeed is an innovatively green technique to bring electricity to the masses.
