Locally Harness Power of the Sun| Making the Case for SHS Manufacturing and Assembly in Ethiopia
For Ethiopia to achieve national electrification through its integrated on and off grid electrification plan by 2030, roughly 9 million households must have access to stand-alone solar home systems (SHS). Yet, the current dependency on imports, and the policy and financing ecosystems are leading to a high deviation in the supply of products in the SHS market from the projected demand. Finding practical solutions to these challenges is vital to fully electrifying the Ethiopian population as planned in the NEP 2.0. As of the publishing of this research, there are four SHS assemblers on the ground and a manufacturing company that is expected to start production by the end of the year. Despite these efforts, there is still much work to be done to meet the increasing demand for SHS products in the country. This study aims to assess the SHS market of Ethiopia and identify the potential of local manufacturing and assembly on a national scale.
