Investigating the Performance of Rural Off-Grid Photovoltaic System with Electric-Mobility Solutions: A Case Study Based on Kenya

Aminu Bugaje, Mathias Ehrenwirth, Christoph Trinkl, W. Zoerner · 2021 · Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy Water and Environment Systems

Summary. This paper models an off-grid photovoltaic charging station in Kenya to provide reliable, low-emission electricity for rural applications including water purification and electric vehicle charging. The system outperforms diesel generators in cost and environmental impact. The model adapts to different regions by adjusting solar radiation, temperature, and load parameters, offering a replicable solution for rural electrification in Sub-Saharan Africa.
