Conducted participant observation and semi-structured interviews with local stakeholders.
Performed archival research focusing on village-level policies and microgrid technology.
Analyzed the relationship between community engagement levels and microgrid performance.
Microgrid adoption rate was 35% in villages with supportive legal frameworks.
Highly engaged communities achieved an average power output of 120 kWh per month.
Moderately engaged communities produced an average of 80 kWh per month.
The legal and regulatory environment significantly impacted the success of microgrid implementation.
