Techno-Financial Analysis of Energy Access through Hybrid System with Solar PV under the Various Rural Community Models for State of Uttarakhand, India

Ashish Verma, Saurabh Biswas, Syed Yasir Ahmad · 2015 · Smart Grid and Renewable Energy

Summary. This study analyzes hybrid solar photovoltaic systems with battery storage for rural energy access in Uttarakhand, India. Researchers modeled five community-based energy systems serving remote hilly villages where grid extension is infeasible. Using HOMER simulations, they compared three hybrid configurations across different household densities and consumption patterns. Solar PV with battery storage emerged as the most cost-effective solution, offering reliable power for lighting, appliances, and mobile charging while reducing operational costs and enabling local community ownership and income generation.
