Despite the rapid decline in the cost of solar photo-voltaic (PV) systems in the past five years, even recent academic research suggests that the cost of generating PV electricity remains too high for PV to make a meaningful contribution to the generation of grid electricity in developing...

We study the determinants of households' choices of lighting fuels in Kenya, including the option of using solar home systems (SHSs). The paper adds new evidence on the factors that influence the introduction and adoption of decentralized and less carbon‐intensive energy sources in developing...

This paper describes and analyses the historical development and current status of the solar energy markets in Kenya and Tanzania. It examines the development of both markets since their beginnings in the 1970s, their current size and structure and it presents forecasts for their future...
