Off-grid communities in Ghana face significant challenges with access to reliable electricity, leading to health disparities and economic inefficiencies. A stratified random sampling approach was employed to select communities for the intervention. A mixed-methods design, including both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, was utilised to capture comprehensive data on health impacts and user experiences. The analysis revealed a significant reduction of 25% in maternal mortality rates among pregnant women who had access to off-grid lighting compared to those without such facilities (p < 0. 01). This study provides empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of off-grid systems in improving health outcomes, particularly for vulnerable populations. Sustainable funding models and community engagement strategies should be prioritised to ensure long-term success and widespread adoption of these technologies.
