How can solar energy be developed in Ethiopia?
The future development of solar energy in Ethiopia is dependent on government policy and promotion activities in the energy sector. Rural electrification and reduced biomass consumption may help to reduce pollution and lead to more sustainable development (Figure 1). Figure 1: Conceptual framework.
Does solar PV work in rural Ethiopia?
Multiple linear regression and econometric analyses were used to analyse the data. Findings showed that the use of solar PV systems in rural Ethiopia is growing and its impact appears significant.
Why is solar energy so expensive in rural Ethiopia?
The reason is that in the context of rural Ethiopia, access to grid electricity is higher in areas closer to town than in remote villages. Moreover, the cost of solar installation (transportation cost in particular) is much higher for households distant to town (market) than those closer.
Are stand-alone solar PV systems gaining popularity in Ethiopia?
In line with the findings of a study by Lakew et al. (), results from this study suggest that the adoption 2 and use of stand-alone solar PV systems such as SHSs and PicoPVs in off-grid and rural areas of southern Ethiopia is steadily growing.
Does Ethiopia have high solar energy potential?
The status of solar energy utilization, development opportunities and challenges in Ethiopia It further articulated that Ethiopia has high solar energy potential related to its position and gifted 13 th month sunshine.
How to reduce the cost of solar power in Ethiopia?
• Government should subsidize the cost of importation of Renewable Energy Technologies (RET) most especially solar PV to bring down the high cost in Ethiopia, and make it affordable. • More research into the techno economies involving the initial and subsequent costs of solar plants and their power efficiencies should be encouraged.
