Factsheet Solar Mini Grids 

The Sustainable Energy Solutions Catalogue is designed for users both within and outside the scope of SESA. Inside SESA, it offers an introduction to solutions that can be utilized in collaboration with various stakeholders, including local governments and civil society. Additionally, the catalogue updates users within the project about activities at SESA validation and replication sites. Externally, it informs users about the various solutions tested during SESA project implementation and serves as a comprehensive source of introductory information on sustainable energy solutions for a diverse set of stakeholders.  

Solar mini grids are key to delivering reliable, clean, and cost-efficient electricity to households, businesses, and critical infrastructure such as schools and hospitals in many African countries. This factsheet introduces the technologies involved in solar mini grids, sums up key business and financing models, and provides examples of successful deployment in the African context as well in the SESA project specifically.
