SOLAR PV AS A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE TO REMOTE & RURAL ELECTRICITY: A CASE STUDY OF NEPALESE EXPERIENCE

摘要：

Nepal has done a little to exploit its vast potential of hydro-electricity. At least 60％ of Nepalese are still deprived of electricity, which is a basic necessity in the modern society. Therefore, a high section of Nepalese society will be forced to live without electricity for many decades to come. A gamut of factors responsible for this bleak situation and for a number of villages in the high mountain areas, it is not feasible to have grid electricity at all, even if all other factors are taken care of. This hard fact compels Nepal to look for alternative and off-grid or mini-grid electricity sources. And solar photovoltaic technology is definitely an option already proven viable in short time.
