A Decade of Change: Off-Grid Solar Energy in Rwanda
In this chapter, I assess the last decade of the off-grid solar sector in Rwanda and the critical milestones that have steered its shift from a fragmented and unregulated market of

This analysis combines modeled and in-the-field data to consider three use cases (water, food, and health), across optimistic and realistic scenarios. We estimate pollution
An array of 360 solar panels now helps to power the pumps, pushing water through 24 miles of pipeline, 14 water storage tanks, 40 public water taps and 67 household
This project was designed as part of a wider programme, Scaling Up Off-Grid Energy in Rwanda (SOGER), launched in 2016 with the aim of developing a sustained market
For their Senior Design Projects, SEAS students will help the people of Gashora by designing and implementing three photovoltaic energized water purification systems.

More than 60% of Rwandans are in off-grid areas (about 1.2million households). Opportunities exist in supplying Standalone Solar Home Systems (SHS) and building mini-grids for rural
The first utility-scale solar farm in Sub-Saharan Africa outside of South Africa is the 8.5 MW plant at Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village (Liquidnet Family High School), in the Rwamagana District,
In its first phase, the project will deploy 150 systems in seven districts, providing over 210,000 people with drinking water. Access to clean water remains limited in Rwanda,
