Product Description

Access to affordable energy is essential economic development and improvement of living standards. This text aims to act as a guide for development workers for financing small renewable systems and a source of reference for further in-depth investigation. The book examines the issues which effect the success of a renewable energy financing programme on both a financial and a technical level: those interested in setting up financing schemes for renewable energy technologies must also be aware of the technical parameters, which can then be factored into any scheme. Photovoltaics has been chosen as the main example, as one of the most cost-effective ways of bringing electricity to remote areas. However, many of the examples and the financing issues discusssed are also applicable to other renewable energy technologies.
