Abstract

In this study the amount and costs of off-grid PV systems required to electrify Indonesian rural households lacking electricity access are estimated. Due to the Indonesian geography large differences exist among different provinces, therefore this study evaluates the potential and costs of off-grid PV systems for each province as a follow-up of a related study on grid-connected PV systems which we executed in 2012. In this study we calculate cumulative numbers for the nominal power of installed off-grid PV systems, their LCOE and the relative financial benefits compared with diesel generators, which are a common means for electricity generation in remote areas.
