“…IDCOL has played a vital role to fulfill this revised target. By the end of May 2016, IDCOL have already been able to install exactly 4,013,524 SHSs up to May 2016 and the new goal is to fulfill the target of 6 million SHS installations by the end of the year 2016 [39]. Besides, being the lead initiator in the development and diffusion of SHSs technology, IDCOL is expected to contribute a total of 234 MW additional capacity SHSs with the involvement of private and various non-governmental organizations to fulfill its new objective of 6 million SHSs installation within 2-3 years [40,41].…”

“…The capacity specific weight of PV panels and batteries was calculated by linear regression based on datasets from the market research (PV panel n pv = 70; battery n batt = 113; see Supplementary S5) in order to determine the coefficients for Equations (3) and (4). The capacity of the battery is between 1 and 1.5 times the capacity of the PV panel [86,87]. The chosen parameter for the modeling was 1.25.…”

"Universal access to electricity" is proclaimed as the seventh sustainable development goal (SDG 7) of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals list. The achievement of this goal will result in a rapid diffusion of energy technologies that would in turn increase materials stocks, subsequently increase the raw material demand as well as the arising waste flows. This study describes a methodological framework to assess in-use stocks of off-grid solar products and electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) for rural communities in developing countries. The methodology is based on energy-access data. Furthermore, the specifics of the characteristics of off-grid solar products are discussed. The methodology is applied to rural Bangladesh and its solar home system (SHS) program. By the end of 2016, around 4.1 million SHSs were installed. This type of access to electricity has a significant impact on the in-use stocks, as households add the comparatively heavy SHSs to their in-use stocks. In-use stocks of EEE, in general, are low. Off-grid solar products are lighter than standard EEE, and fewer products types are available. These findings will help to better understand material stocks and future waste flows in the given context and will support the adaption of recycling infrastructures.
