6 FAQs about [Solar home systems africa Northern Mariana Islands]
Is solar home system electrification a viable technology option for Africa's Development?
Solar home system electrification as a viable technology option for Africa's development Energy Pol., 35 ( 1) ( 2007), pp. 6 - 14, 10.1016/j.enpol.2005.08.019 To climb or not to climb? Investigating energy use behaviour among Solar Home System adopters through energy ladder and social practice lens
Can solar power improve children's education and entertainment in rural South Africa?
The ability to power appliances such as televisions and radios has contributed to an improvement of children’s education and entertainment in rural Lesotho , while SHSs have enabled children in rural South Africa to be in a better position to study and do their homework, as solar light is better than candlelight .
Why do people adopt solar energy in rural South Africa?
In rural South Africa, the status of inhabitants influences their energy needs, and thus their decisions as to whether to adopt SHSs . Arguably, social superiority associated with the actual uptake of SHSs has led many households to adopt these solar technologies , . Cultural norms also influence the uptake of SHSs.
Is solar adoption country specific?
Barrie and Cruickshank (2017) highlight that adoption is country and context specific and recommend comparing different demographic characteristics, such as gender and wealth. Lay et al. (2013) found no correlation between being connected to the grid and purchasing a solar system and suggest a separate re-examination of the two effects.
How can we improve the affordability and accessibility of solar energy?
Most policy recommendations from the reviewed papers focussed on improving affordability and accessibility of good quality SHSs for households. This could be achieved by developing a stronger regulatory framework for SHSs and embedding the different solar technologies within the government's electrification strategy.
Which appliances are most common in a non-solar home?
Gustavsson (2007b) highlights that televisions are commonly acquired after purchasing the SHS, whilst appliances, such as radio cassette players are often present in both non-solar and solar households. Green and Erskine (1999) also found that customers' highest priority appliances for the future were televisions and stoves.
