Abstract

Enersol's SOBASEC (SOlar‐BASed Rural Electrification Concept) programme demonstrates that stand‐alone photovoltaic (PV) systems can be an economical option to grid expansion. Developing a local institutional system to support the dissemination of PV technology at the community level has been a major thrust of the programme. Both a service and parts enterprise and a local credit institution have been established, and technicians have been trained and employed. A modest revolving fund was also established to finance the installations. Field analysis of 100 installed systems suggests that small PV systems are viable for widespread application in the Dominican Republic.
