“…The Government's energy policy is cognisant of this and offers subsidies to cover virtually the full cost of SHS installation. The two government bureaus in charge of funding for the rural implementation of SHS are the Energy Policy and Planning Office (EPPO) and the Energy Conservation Fund (ENCON Fund) [4], [6], [7].…”

Abstract. This paper addresses the need for electricity of remote rural communities in Thailand and proposes a minimalist photovoltaic solar home system scheme to supply electricity to non-electrified villages in isolated rural regions in Thailand. Details of the proposed SHS scheme are given. The estimated cost of the proposed scheme is compared with that of a grid extension. The paper reaches the conclusion that the proposal is justifiable on humanitarian, technical and economic grounds.

“…Fuse sizes are usually determined on the basis of fault currents which exceed rated currents by 20 -56%. [7] [12]. For the design at hand, fuses are specified as listed in Table V for the major cable runs on the basis of fault currents likely to arise in the course of operation.…”

Dissemination of photovoltaic (PV) electricity generation systems in developing countries faces a multitude of financial, technical, institutional and policy barriers. Demonstration of the system by appropriately selecting sites and users, providing an appropriate financial mechanism and technical support, and creating awareness among users can serve to trigger significant spontaneous propagation of PV systems. A strategy/approach adopted in promoting dissemination of solar home systems (SHSs) in Bangladesh is described, together with details of the methodology, including the planning, maintenance and training efforts undertaken. Progress in propagation of PV systems has been monitored since the installation of the demonstration systems; the success of the approach adopted can be gauged by the fact that since the installation of ten demonstration units in the selected area, a tremendous increase in the sale of PV SHSs has been observed.
