MENA's PV Roadmap to 2034: Transforming Ambition into Reality

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.

This session explores how digitalization is revolutionizing off-grid energy projects, enabling scalability and efficiency in underserved areas. Experts will discuss cutting-edge solutions based on the use and application of digital tools to support planning, development, and operations ultimately enhancing affordability. Attendees will gain insights into leveraging digital tools for optimized planning and project management, customer engagement, monitoring, and sustainable growth. Real-world case studies will highlight successful implementations, showcasing how technology bridges the gap between innovation and impact in energy access.
