    solar adoption in the country is very low
More than anything, this is due to financing, not will. The reason why most developing nations don't have enough power, is they don't have enough financing (money) to build the power plants / windmills / solar panels.

North India has so many power outages that it is normal to have very large batteries in your house to ride them out.

That was the point I was trying to make: countries where such things happen, also often have populations that cannot and do not have solar or energy backups.
