However, poor maintenance and control of such systems may jeopardize their effectiveness, possibly leading to the electric power disruption seen in many solar PV use
Over one billion people lack access to electricity and many of them in rural areas far from existing infrastructure. Off-grid systems can provide an alternative to extending the grid
A review on rural electrification programs and projects based on off-grid Photovoltaic (PV) systems, including Solar Pico Systems
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
The next work could be to further improve scalability for more complex energy scenarios. Rural off-grid solar photovoltaic systems require careful planning to address key uncertainties, including variations in user behaviour, possible climate change impacts, and differences between software simulation and optimisation methods.
The development of autonomous solar PV off-grid home systems, also known as solar home systems (SHS), and mini-grids are promising solutions to tackle the low access rates of off-grid appliances in remote locations in developing countries [, , , , ].
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 .
Section 2.2 provides an initial overview of issues that hinder access to grid electricity in rural areas, and indicates that of-grid solar systems are expected to play a significant role. This is followed by a discussion of the status of electricity access and cooling access in rural of-grid areas and the challenges to expanding cooling services.
