Else, an Eventual Return to Conventional Energy: Impacts and Fate of an Off-Grid Rural Electrification Project in an Island in the Philippines

Hong, G.W., Naoya Abe, Baclay, M. · 2011 · EU PVSEC

Summary. An off-grid solar photovoltaic system installed on Pangan-an Island in the Philippines faced technical, economic, and social challenges as it approached end-of-life. The study examined performance data and investigated options for extending the system's service life, revealing barriers to sustainability including technical complexity, high costs, and social compatibility issues that rural renewable energy projects must overcome.
