The evidence suggests that many solar programs are being designed
and implemented in isolation and without reliance on published
guidelines or the experience gained by others. The conclusion is
obvious: the likelihood of a program being successful would be
greatly improved if program implementers were made more aware of
best practice guidelines and of the lessons and experience learned
by others in implementing previous programs. Furthermore, the best
practice guidelines not only need to be readily available but need
to describe the stages, issues and the stakeholders’ roles in
designing and implementing a SHS program. This book showcases
a detailed road map that has been developed for the implementation
of rural electrification projects in developing countries using
solar PV. Features of this book will be case studies derived from
personal participatory observation of the authors on Solar Home
Systems, their impact, their advantages and disadvantages and their
operation.
