Lucero Gaslac, Sebastian Willis, Grimaldo Quispe, Carlos Raymundo · 2018 · IOP Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science

Summary. This paper proposes a hybrid renewable energy system to electrify low-income rural communities in Peru without grid access. Researchers surveyed Monte-Catache village in Cajamarca to assess energy demand and renewable resources. Simulations showed isolated photovoltaic systems with battery storage as the most viable solution. The approach offers a practical pathway for bringing electricity to remote, impoverished areas using cost-effective renewable technology.
