This study evaluates off-grid community systems in rural Kenya, focusing on their impact on agricultural yield. Panel data analysis will be employed to assess the efficacy of off-grid systems over time within selected communities in Kenya. A significant proportion (35%) of households reported increased yields after adopting off-grid irrigation systems, with a mean improvement of 20% across two years. The findings suggest that off-grid community systems can be effective in boosting agricultural productivity in rural settings. Further research should explore the long-term sustainability and economic feasibility of these systems. The empirical specification follows Y=₀+^ X+, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
