Solar Home System (SHS) - Climate Protection

GHG reduction potential of SHS
- "Savings of 9 tonnes of CO2 equivalent GHG emissions within a 20-year period of use of one single 50 Wp SHS"; => 0.45 t CO2/year[1]
- "Typicale SHS of 10-50 Wp will directly displace roughly 0.15-0.30 tons of CO2 per year through fuel substitutions mostly of kerosene."[2]
- "During a previous analysis of 8 case studies, it was found roughly 0.25 tons of CO2 per average system of 44 Wp per year would represent a conservative but reasonable global value. […] 70% of the analysed emission reductions were actually higher than 250 kg."[3]<span />
