Techno-Economic Analysis of Stand-alone Solar PV and Battery-based Micro-grids in Karnataka
Access to electricity can bring about a transformative change in the economic conditions and growth of any country. Decentralised solar energy solutions like solar lanterns, solar home lighting systems, rooftop Photovoltaic (PV) systems, and solar micro-grids and mini-grids have been in use for quite some time. In this study, for select sites considered in Karnataka, we analysed the feasibility of Solar PV Micro Grids (SPVMGs), considering its potential as a promising solution for electrifying rural homes and villages.
