PV is developing very fast. Efficiency has been going up as cost have been going down. Many applications are now competitive with grid supply and other forms of electricity supply. While in the past, off-grid users strived to become connected to the grid, we are now seeing the opposite happening. There is a grey zone between on-grid and off-grid products, and they are becoming established. Electrification strategies and outlooks are being adapted, which reflects the potential of interconnected off-grid systems. In this session, examples of such products and systems will be presented along with innovative electrification approaches.

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
