Is solar PV a good option for off-grid systems?In a high solar radiation region, as is the case for most of Africa, solar PV electricity is the most interesting and cost-effective option for off-grid systems. Over the last few years, the combined use of renewable energy sources (RES) and storage became a more and more an interesting solution to increase electricity access in rural areas.
Does rural electrification based on off-grid PV work?The adoption of a regulatory frame and standards favors the sustainability of rural electrification efforts based on off-grid PV systems. The existence of an agency aimed at rural electrification has been shown to have a positive effect.
Are off-grid PV systems attainable for rural households?Moreover, numerous studies have shown that the relatively high initial investment costs make off-grid PV systems unattainable for rural households in DCs [9, 79, 118, 124, 134, 135], except for the rural elite . In India for instance, given the unequal income distribution, SHS could only be afforded by around 10% of households .
Are off-grid PV systems a backup solution?For example, in Bangladesh, less than 9% of the households used the energy from SHS to generate income . Accordingly, users tend to consider the off-grid PV systems a backup solution (with limited energy capacity), being afraid of not receiving the promised grid. 3.1.6. Key Points.
Are off-grid PV systems a cost-effective electrification solution?Although off-grid PV systems are a cost-effective electrification solution in the case of disperse populations with low per capita energy consumption, governments often favor costly conventional energy sources over RE. Not only governments exhibit problems for adopting cost-effective solutions for rural electrification.
Do off-grid PV systems meet a higher energy demand?As illustrated in that study, a higher energy demand from users was not met by the inaccurate solutions installed. Moreover, adapting the off-grid PV systems to the local needs can be challenging, as engineers and designers (typically from developed countries) do not know who their users are and how their products are us
