solar-based rural electrification and community solar projects
Solar-Based Rural Electrification Programs
In 1984 Enersol pioneered the introduction of PV technology in the Latin
American and Caribbean region. It developed the Solar-Based Rural Electrification
Concept (SO-BASEC) innovation, which drew interest worldwide. Check
out this page, which includes information about the Dominican Republic SO-BASEC
Program and the Honduras SO-BASEC Program.
Community Solar Projects to Improve Rural Health and Education
Building upon the successful SO-BASEC programs, Enersol developed community
projects to improve rural health and education. Check out this page, which
includes information about AGUASOL Projects (solar-powered potable water
systems) and EDUSOL Projects (solar-powered computers).
Consulting and Special Projects
Enersol’s innovative work led to various special projects around Latin
America (Belize, Guatemala, Bolivia and Mexico). In 1996 Enersol formed a
joint venture, Global Transition Consulting (GTC), to provide advisory services
to other organizations with efforts in the rural energy space. GTC has assisted
many leading organizations, including the World Bank and the Grameen Bank.
