Uganda has a well-developed microfinance sector, and several MFIs have partnered with off-grid solar companies to distribute solar products. Off-grid companies are also working with savings and credit cooperatives (SACCOs) and village savings and loan associations (VSLAs) to provide solar products and loans to their members.
Rural and peri-urban areas remain a viable market for these solar products. The Uganda Bureau of Statistics estimated that, in 2020, 38 percent of the population used solar energy, up from 18 percent in 2017.
As Uganda, the region, and indeed the world at large, reels from the triple threat of conflict, climate change, and COVID-19, there is a critical window of opportunity to accelerate off-grid energy to spur recovery at both household and business level through increasing productivity.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) mini-grids are a nascent technology in Uganda; only a few are operational, such as the Kitobo solar power plant in Kalangala district. Most solar PV mini-grid business models are still being evaluated.
The policy advocates for the use of off-grid energy solutions to facilitate energy access in rural/remote parts of Uganda2 Provides the legal, regulatory and institutional framework governing the energy sector in Uganda.
With a home of roughly 1500 square feet, it is estimated that 15 to 18 solar panels will be needed. What Are The Main Disadvantages To Solar Energy In Uganda? Cost. The initial cost of purchasing a solar system is fairly high. Weather-Dependent.
