Technical FAQs 4

Will off-grid solar provide half of Africa's electricity access?

Off-grid solar is positioned to be the most cost-effective way to provide about half of electricity access under Mission 300 —the joint World Bank Group and African Development Bank initiative to connect 300 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa to electricity by 2030.

What is off-grid solar?

Thanks to its versatility and range of standalone modular products, off-grid solar technologies can adapt to the varying needs of households, public institutions, farms, and enterprises—supporting a range of development objectives including better health, productivity, food security and climate resilience.

How can off-grid solutions benefit Africa?

Reaching millions of people across Africa with off-grid solutions has the potential to not only boost connectivity and resilience, but also to generate an estimated $5.6 billion in household savings and new income for families and provide power to two million micro-enterprises.

Why do Kenyans need tax exemptions for off-grid solar?

In Kenya, tax exemptions have been pivotal in developing the off-grid solar market, which now supplies over 10% of the population with electricity and Kenya has a burgeoning market for off-grid solar agricultural equipment, ICT applications and solar for larger commercial enterprises.
