Pros and Cons of Solar Energy

Solar Home Systems (SHS) are small to mid-size systems using photovoltaic solar energy and battery storage to provide electricity where there is no access to the grid. Solar energy is harnessed through photovoltaic panels installed nearby the house or building and is connected to a battery bank. During night hours, the battery bank supplies the electricity to specific appliances. Such systems are individually sized to suit the end users’ needs and can be used for households, offices or business entities that are scattered throughout different areas or entire villages.

In recent years, FGET has been awarded several large-scale World Bank funded projects to be implemented around the world.
