Description: The country will need at least 2.2 million solar home systems (SHS) to achieve universal access by 2022. With the government-led Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) programme expected to provide at least 250,000 SHS by 2023, there is a big potential for the private sector and other players to participate. The pay-as-yougo (PAYG) model also provides another option to help attain the target in a country where mobile penetration is over 90 per cent and at least 95 per cent of households have access to one of the available mobile payment platforms.
