However, targeted support remains critical for safeguarding the industry and its vital contribution to energy access and other development goals. Data from July - December 2020 reveals that off- West Africa and Central Africa showed a 19% and grid solar lighting sales grew by 19% compared 40% increase, respectively. At the national level, to the first half of the year, totaling 3.6 million examples of countries benefiting from growth in products sold. Yet sales are still at the lowest level lighting sales compared to the same period in 2019 since 2015. The sector’s growth is far from the rate were Somalia and Nigeria, where the industry needed to achieve universal electrification targets benefited from strong government support. by 2030. Appliance sales, meanwhile, plateaued at Declines compared to the second half of 2019 were 470,000, with numbers failing to reach the levels seen in countries including Uganda, Zambia and of growth anticipated before the global health Ethiopia, linked respectively to extreme weather, and economic crisis.

East Africa saw the smallest dip (5%) whilst bigger drops were seen in West Africa (11%) and The easing of lockdown restrictions in many Central Africa (32%). However, looking at specific countries in the second half of 2020 contributed technologies, positive signs also emerged, such to increased sales volumes compared to the first as the increase in the sale of solar water pumps in half of the year. Strong consumer demand in many West Africa. markets, despite the additional cash constraints placed on off-grid households as a result of the In contrast to the more positive overall picture pandemic, also demonstrated the importance that in SSA, sales of off-grid lighting in South Asia energy poor homes and businesses continued to remained 43% lower than those seen in the place on off-grid solutions. second half of 2019. This is in large part due to the continuation of low sales rates in India. Key drivers However, while this led to stability in some for these were the extension of localized lockdowns markets, this was not universal. The impact of the until the end of August, and difficulties faced by pandemic - as well as other local and regional microfinance institutions (MFIs) - the main sales factors - led to a wide variation in sales levels. channel for off-grid products in the country.2 Across Aside from the COVID crisis, challenging conditions the region, the industry saw a growth in the sale of such as extreme weather, political events, and fans but a decrease in the sale of televisions and fiscal changes on one hand, and positive initiatives solar water pumps when compared to the second such as relief funding and new programs on the half of 2019. other, added to the complex picture behind the global headlines.

  • Rural Energy Access Through Solar Home Systems: Use Patterns and Opportunities for Improvement
    Energy for Sustainable Development 37 (2017) 33–50 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Energy for Sustainable Development Rural energy access through solar home systems: Use patterns and opportunities for improvement Ognen Stojanovski a,⁎,MarkThurbera, Frank Wolak a,b a Program on Energy and Sustainable Development (PESD), Stanford University, United States b Department of Economics and PESD, Stanford University, United States article info abstract Article history: Solar photovoltaic (PV) products are touted as a leading solution to long-term electrification and development Received 24 November 2016 problems in rural parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. Yet there is little available data on the interactions between Accepted 28 November 2016 solar products and other household energy sources (which solar PVs are often assumed to simply displace) or Available online xxxx the extent to which actual use patterns match up with the uses presumed by manufacturers and development agencies. This paper probes those questions through a survey that tracked approximately 500 early adopters of solar home systems in two off-grid markets in Africa. We find that these products were associated with large reductions in the use of kerosene and the charging of mobile phones outside the home. To a lesser extent, the use of small disposable batteries also decreased. However, solar home systems were, for the most part, not used to power radios, TVs, or flashlights. We also did not observe adopter households using these solar products to support income-generating activities. © 2016 International Energy Initiative. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Background and motivation estimated to represent less than 5% of the off-grid solar market by number of products sold as of June 2016 (GOGLA and Lighting Global, 2016).
