OFF-GRID: BUSINESS MODELS FOR DISSEMINATION OF SOLAR SYSTEMS
Summary
Solar PV is an economical
viable technology to provide
off-grid systems with clean
energy. Especially in
comparison with diesel
generators high cost
reductions can be achieved.
Nevertheless the
implementation of solar
systems faces some
challenges due to missing
business models. Thus, it is
important to research,
improve and discuss various
potential business models.
Summary
The implementation of
fluctuating renewable
energies into off-grid diesel
grids requires certain storage
technologies to increase the
overall renewable share and
to improve the system
stability. Different
technologies exist to fulfill
these tasks by e.g.
electrochemical or thermal
storage application.
