Solar energy kiosks in developing countries are commonly designed with battery storage as daytime energy production does not coincide with an evening peak consumption. Curtailment of excess solar energy production can occur when current load and battery storage charging is not high enough during peak solar generation hours. Valuation of the options for coping with this phenomena, after a system is...
This paper describes the design of an off-grid energy kiosk in Filibaba, Zambia. Energy kiosks use a “walk up” retail model for electricity service. People bring mobile phones and other electronic devices to be recharged at the kiosk for a fee, and can rent portable battery kits with external LED bulbs to provide light to their homes.
