Off-Grid Solar Market Trends Report 2022: Outlook

This report aims to survey the outlook for the off-grid solar market and interventions needed for the sector to achieve its full potential impact. Chapter 2 discusses what it will take for the sector to achieve its primary development goals, including both access to electricity and a host of other development goals enabled by electricity access. Chapter 3 assesses the gap between that benchmark and the sector’s current trajectory. Chapter 4 will discuss the game changers that are needed to propel the sector to ultimately reach its development potential. Finally, chapter 5 will summarize the roles of key sector stakeholders in actualizing those game changers to achieve universal access.
