“…However, in many developing countries, a significant percentage of the population does not have the means to obtain or use electricity, and conventional grid-based solutions are often not feasible because of the expensive and challenging nature of expanding the electricity distribution system to isolated locations [6]. It is believed that most of the places in the world lacking electricity are in underdeveloped areas [7]. 572 million of the 733 million people around the world who lack the ability to obtain or use electricity are Africa's population [2] [8].…”

This review paper examines the development of distributed Photo Voltaic (PV) systems for rural communities in Ghana. The paper provides a review of the present situation of distributed PV systems in Ghana, highlighting the benefits and challenges associated with their implementation. The review draws on several key studies, which analyse the policy landscape, the potential for co-benefits, the barriers to development, and the economic feasibility of distributed PV systems. The findings indicate that while distributed PV systems offer numerous benefits, including increased access to electricity and reduce carbon emissions, there are several significant barriers to their development, including financial constraints, limited private sector involvement, and unfavourable policies. The review concludes by suggesting that further research is needed to explore innovative financing mechanisms, effective policy frameworks, and improved public-private partnerships, which could accelerate the deployment of distributed PV systems and improve energy access for rural communities in Ghana.

<abstract> <p>Rural areas are essential to moving towards the necessary sustainable energy transition and climate change mitigation through renewable energy (RE) technologies. However, RE planning and decision-making in rural locations have not been developed to date with a focus on the local level and accompanied by a careful and thorough assessment of the simultaneous availability of alternative RE sources in a specific territory. Quite differently, RE investments in rural locations have been primarily driven by the interests of large power utilities to exploit a particular RE source, with benefits escaping from the rural economies to end up in the income statements of those large corporations. There is a need to approach RE planning at the municipal scale considering the availability of alternative RE sources. This study suggests the development of a rural RE potential index that could help in the identification of appropriate locations for the implementation of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRESs). The construction of a composite indicator to measure rural RE potential is exemplified through a case study that deals with ten indicators in the context of Galician rural municipalities, involving different RE potentials and some technical or regulatory constraints. Equal weighting and Principal Component Analysis are considered alternative methods for the index construction. Municipalities are the relevant local decision level where energy policy should be focused in order to diversify both the RE mix and the investor base. The proposed index could be the basis for future analyses aimed at optimizing the design and implementation of HRESs in rural environments at a local-regional-national scale.</p> </abstract>
