Organizer: Solarplaza
Description: Solarplaza is proud to announce the latest in the USC: Africa webinar series: "Market Development Trends in the African solar PV Off-Grid Sector", where we provide an overview of the developments and trends in the off-grid and distributed energy sector.
Electrifying rural Africa via traditional interconnection to the main electricity grid is a costly affair, and often not viable for remote communities. Over the past years, off-grid alternatives have emerged in the form of minigrids and solar home systems , which are now truly getting traction. The pay-as-you-go model for financing solar home systems has attracted investor attention due to its huge potential in making access to energy more affordable, and minigrids are seen by many DFI's as the upcoming solution to electrify remote villages, communities and businesses.
