Although linking the topics "battery charging systems" and "productive use" might, at first glance, not be immediately intuitive, there are some important points that justify this connection when taking a closer look. Most importantly, money that was previously used for buying kerosene can stay within the country when basic energy demand is supplied for by BCS. This way, employment opportunities and income generating activities are enhanced.
When using a broad notion of the term "productive use" one certainly should consider the possibilities that lighting households have on productivity increases (e. g. for cottage industries).
Additionally, a shift in perspective towards the operator of a BCS seems promising when discussing productive use issues related to BCS. Here, certainly some creation of value takes place that enables the operator to use revenues in a productive way (e. g. when expanding business and creating employment possibilities).
A good example of productive use also provides the hypothetical case of an island system fed by renewable energies (designed for peak loads) that runs the whole day through and could therefore use its generating capacities in off-peak times for charging batteries. This service, in turn, could be sold to villagers closeby that do not have access to direct generating facilities. This business model could yield substantial mutual benefits.
