Solar Home Systems can supply basic electricity services in Sunbelt countries. About 20 % of the world's population lack of access to these services. A preliminary model to evaluate the success of a SHS implementation has been proposed previously. The views of a range of institutional stakeholders related to SHS were explored by problem centered interviews and by participatory observation. An improved...
Around 20% of the world’s population currently do not have access to electricity while the importance of electricity services for society continues to increase. Solar Home Systems (SHS) are a competitive option for supplying basic electrification under meteorological conditions in Sunbelt countries. However, many of the SHS electrification programmes have failed in the past. Furthermore, their evaluation...
Starting in 1987 with 6 students the Postgraduate Programme Renewable Energy (PPRE) has developed to an accredited master program with almost 400 actively networking alumni from more than 80 countries. Fields of study are wind energy, solar electric and solar thermal, energy meteorology, hydropower, storage technology, biomass and economics of Renewable Energy. The Programme1 aims at engineers and...
This paper proposes a framework for assessing the degree of success of Solar Home Systems (SHSs) including a consideration of the key factors that contribute to success. In future work feedback from relevant institutions will be incorporated in the process of developing the success framework and the relative importance of the various factors and barriers influencing the SHS's success. It is proposed...
