The aim is to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and reliability of off-grid solar systems in Ghana over time.
Mixed-method approach combining quantitative analysis and qualitative insights
Collection of panel data over five years from community surveys and energy system metrics
Use of statistical models including regression analysis and propensity score matching to estimate cost-effectiveness
Solar photovoltaic systems show 80% uptime, indicating high reliability
There is a 25% reduction in electricity costs when using solar compared to diesel generators
Solar PV systems are determined to be more cost-effective and reliable options for rural off-grid communities
