SHSs = Solar home systems. Smaller SHSs include off-grid solar products of capacity between 11 Wp and 50 Wp and can provide access to basic electricity service the IEA threshold for counting access to electricity. Larger SHSs include off-grid solar products of capacity larger than 50Wp and can provide access to essential energy services and above.
