Kenya - Implementation Manual : Financing Mechanisms for Solar Electric Equipment
This manual is based on more than two year's worth of field experience in Kenya during which about 120 solar home systems (SHS) were installed through different financing mechanisms. It outlines two different finance approaches that address li...

| description |
This manual is based on more than two
year's worth of field experience in Kenya during which
about 120 solar home systems (SHS) were installed through
different financing mechanisms. It outlines two different
finance approaches that address lighting and power needs of
1) rural households with regular cash income and 2) small
businesses with the potential to increase their productivity
with solar-powered electricity. This report found that it
was feasible to establish financing mechanisms for solar
electric systems for use in households and small
businesses-once the right partners were identified and clear
procedures were identified indicating each partner's
responsibilities. The desire to have electricity is so
deeply-rooted that households that have a chance to obtain
loan to acquire a solar electric system will do so. In order
to get these financing mechanisms off the ground, a certain
amount of technical assistance for training and quality
control is necessary, as is a limited financial assistance
to slightly reduce the costs of the loans offered. |
