Absolutely- factoring in refrigeration as well, it seems like an ideal location for widespread solar. On top of that, power transmission in a developing country would benefit a ton from decentralization. The tough aspects of managing a decentralized grid (sensing and load shedding) are much easier today than when the North American / European power grids were developed. I'd even wager to say that some non-industrial areas should push for HVDC transmission and start to move away from AC altogether. With most of our household amenities trending towards relatively low DC voltages, the AC losses don't seem as worthwhile if we can avoid it.
