The document summarizes the findings of a survey of organizations implementing solar PV electrification programs in Asia and the Pacific. It found that the key factors for success included regular maintenance and monitoring, warranties, access to financing, designing systems to meet local needs, and building local community capacity. Barriers included a lack of guidelines based on lessons from previous projects and not specifying program objectives in terms of user needs and benefits. Success requires consideration of technical, policy, implementation, and business issues in program design and execution.
