2008, more than 400,000 SHS were sold to residents of northwestern China, most of them herders who trans- ported the systems by animal back as they moved to new 12 pastures. In India, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy estimates that nearly 600,000 solar home systems and 800,000 solar lamps had been purchased nationwide as of 2010.13 This amounts to an increase that year of some 37,000 new home lighting systems, more than 3,500 solar lamps, and around 1,500 solar street lighting systems.14 In Sri Lanka, some 60,000 SHS had been purchased as of 2007, most during the previous decade; by 2010, that number had increased to more than 125,000.15 Other Asian countries, such as Cambodia and Laos, are developing ambitious rural electrification programs based on SHS concessions. They also are embracing community electrification schemes that utilize hybrid systems or hydropower plants.17 In Bangladesh, an estimated 30,000 solar home systems are being sold each month nationwide. In the early 2000s, the Bangladeshi government and international banks and bilateral donors established a rural energy fund, implemented by the Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL), that has enabled a group of 30 participating sales and service companies to install some 750,000 SHS – most of them 50–75 Wpeak.16 Sri Lanka’s Renewable Energy for Rural Economic Development (RERED) project relies on consumer credit and a network of microfinance institutions and solar companies. Solar companies sell solar home systems and offer operation and maintenance services through dealer networks. A memorandum of understanding between the microfinance institution and the solar company outlines the buyback scheme and the consumer/service responsi- bilities of the two parties. Applying this model, Sarvodaya Economic Enterprises Development Services – RERED’s partner in SHS financing – had financed nearly 130,000 systems by 2010, an increase of more than 100,000 since 2002.18 This multi-stakeholder approach, based on well- conceived public-private partnerships and supported by 67 A third of these systems were installed in 2010 alone, and the number of participating organizations has doubled in the last few years. 05 Sidebar 8. lIGhTInG afRICa: leSSOnS In MaRkeT anD TeChnOlOGy InnOVaTIOn The Lighting Africa program, implemented jointly by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the World Bank, provides small technical-assistance grants to promote private sector innovation and new lighting technologies. It aims to facilitate the commercialization of environmentally friendly, affordable, high-quality lighting for off-grid rural households across Africa. The program promotes solar-charged, battery-operated light emitting diode (LED), and fluorescent lighting devices by building an enabling environment and market infrastructure, without providing product subsidies. the industry by facilitating business linkages through its interactive business-to-business website and by organizing international and domestic conferences, trade fairs, and workshops. There are striking parallels between the issues that Lighting Africa has tackled and those faced by other efforts to develop and market improved or advanced biomass stoves. Through its interaction with leaders in the lighting industry, for example, Lighting Africa revealed that major manufacturers lacked informa- tion about African markets and that an enabling environment was important. To improve this envi- ronment, the program has provided “intelligence” to It also has provided grant funds for innovations in technology development, marketing, and implemen- tation strategies. Together with GIZ, Lighting Africa has helped create initial testing methods and standards for lighting devices, and it is in the process of developing a publicly recognized certification label. In addition, Lighting Africa has conducted consumer awareness and information campaigns in various countries. Recognizing the important role of finance, Lighting Africa is working to meet financing needs by assisting in the development of market-appropriate solutions and financial products. For example, it is providing trade finance and working capital to small and medium-sized distributors of off-grid lighting products. Source: See Endnote 7 for this section. Mauritania). Whether through fee-for-service programs or household-based schemes (micro-finance or cash), the SHS market in Africa is continuing to take off.11 Key to the program’s success have been high-quality system standards and guarantees, combined with after- sales service, and the active participation of microfinance organizations such as Grameen Shakti and BRAC, which have facilitated sales and have guaranteed system quality. Since its inception in 2002, the program has expanded to include a national biogas initiative, solar micro-grids, solar pump irrigation, and biomass based power. The program illustrates the benefit of having a dedicated organization (IDCOL) to coordinate outreach for renew- able energy in rural areas. Progress in Asia is also notable.
