Current
Activities
Many
of the activities between 1999 and 2004 (Phase
1) focussed on solar home systems (SHS). Following feedback
from the target audience, the aims and objectives for 2004-2009
(Phase 2) are to build on previous work, primarily looking
at the non-technical issues of PV deployment
in developing countries:
Support and Co-operation: continued from phase
1. This activity will ensure dialogue between IEA PVPS members
and donors and highlight major donor PV projects and opportunities
for use of PV (e.g. in rural development).
PV
for rural electrification and poverty alleviation:
This will focus on the role of PV in the provision of water,
health, education and ICT services, PV battery charging stations,
hybrids and village mini-grids.
PV
Power packs and Power plants for grid support: This subtask
will evaluate the techno-economic aspects of PV Power Packs
and Grid support applications in developing countries.
Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM) and PV applications: Many
developing countries are looking to the CDM to help leverage
funding to achieve sustainable economic development. The work
will result in updated information on the opportunities for
PV project developers and governments in developing countries
arising from the CDM process.
