Description: Stand-alone solar products (SAS) play a critical role in delivering electricity access for all, especially for hard-to-reach, low-income Kenyan households. In rural Kenya, only 26% of households have access to the main grid, while 30% rely on SAS technologies as their primary source of lighting. There is still a significant gap to reach the universal access targets in rural areas, where over 40% of the population relies on paraffin, gas lamps, torches, batteries, wood and candles.
