Field Performance Evaluation of Amorphous Silicon (a-Si) Photovoltaic Systems in Kenya : Methods and Measurements in Support of a Sustainable Commercial Solar Energy Industry

Field Performance Evaluation of Amorphous Silicon (a-Si) Photovoltaic Systems in Kenya : Methods and Measurements in Support of a Sustainable Commercial Solar Energy Industry

The study reviews the active market for photo-voltaic (PV) solar home systems (SHSs) in Kenya, with cumulative sales in excess of 100,000 units, and current sales of approximately 20,000 modules per year. It further identifies that small single jun...
