rural electrification with photovoltaics

Well-trained technicians are the key to bringing clean, affordable electricity to rural areas, skilled professionals familiar with the opportunities and limitations of solar power who are able to correctly size installations and provide sound operatio-nal management. At present, however, there is a dearth of such technicians versed in the field of rural electrification; nor can would-be experts depend on up-to-date, practical reference works.

In 2009 Solar Energy Foundation published a handbook for rural solar energy technicians. This handbook is the fruit of the labour of numerous specialists, and was printed with the support of the ecbp Addis Ababa.
