4 FAQs about Uganda household solar energy storage

Is solar energy a viable option in Uganda?

The solar energy resource on average is 5.2 kWh/m 2 /day on horizontal surface with average daily sunshine of around 8 h throughout the year, favourable for solar electricity generation. However, adoption of solar PV systems isintractably low in Uganda ( Manjeri et al., 2021, Rahut et al., 2018 ). This raises an important question.

Should solar PV devices be adopted in Uganda?

Solar PV devices adoption is largely a rural phenomenon in Uganda. Policy intervention should focus on addressing affordability issues in rural areas. 1. Introduction Access to clean energy, such as electricity, is a prerequisite for economic and sustainable development of any economy ( World Bank, 2018 ).

How can Uganda address the energy access gap?

To address electricity access gap and the negative effects associated with unsustainable use of biomass and fossils, the government of Uganda isdevising policies and programs to increase uptake of alternative renewable energies, such as solar photovoltaic devices ( MEMD, 2019; Energy Africa, 2018 ).

Does flexible payment mechanism increase adoption of solar PV devices in Uganda?

Drivers for adoption solar photovoltaic (PV) devices in Uganda are examined. Conditional mixed process model is used as main analysis tool in this study.Flexible payment mechanism rises chance of households adopting solar home systems. Solar PV devices adoption is largely a rural phenomenon in Uganda.
