Technical FAQs 4

What can Rwanda learn from off-grid solar?

The decade of off-grid solar is a valuable lesson for the future calling for more deliberate steps towards just energy transitions for Rwandans, and as a result, a more just society at large. 1.

Are there quality control measures for off-grid solar products in Rwanda?

A decade ago, when the market of off-grid solar solutions was still in its infancy, there were no quality control measures in Rwanda. However, the introduced quality standards for imported solar products have helped minimize the number of counterfeit products in the market.

How many Rwandan households are connected through off-grid solar systems in 2021?

Circa 17.8% of Rwandan households are connected through off-grid, predominantly solar systems in 2021 (REG, 2021) which play an important role in the country’s electrification strategy and the achievement of ambitious development goals.

Why are off-grid solar companies entering the Rwandan market?

The transformation of the off-grid solar sector has played a critical role in the country’s rural electrification and development, and the policy and business environments have resulted in dozens of off-grid solar companies entering the Rwandan market.
