However, at GVE-Projects Ltd, we provide electricity solutions for rural, residential, and commercial needs using solar mini-grid systems. Some examples include multiple diesel gen-sets, biomass, as well as small hydro facilities. The use of a mini-grid also permits the use of generation technologies that might not be feasible or economical at a smaller scale. Using mini-grid systems will save the government a lot of costs in providing stand-alone systems to supply electricity. They typically serve remote communities that are not economical to connect to large grids due to their isolation.įor a community that has sufficient population density and diversity of end-users, it makes sense to connect them together. Mini-grids represent an interesting and important midway point between stand-alone and major grid electricity systems.
Providing electricity to rural populations can take any one of three forms: grid extension standalone solar systems and solar mini-grid systems.Ī mini-grid is a small-scale electricity network fed by solar energy.
