Each of the five focus areas are constraint by issues across skill, scale and speed, which if addressed at a global level can help create impact at scale
Key Problem Opportunity for ISA Scaling solar applications for agricultural use Prohibitive cost of solar water pumps limits uptake, low awareness, limited innovation
Massive opportunity to aggregate demand and best practices across design and procurement to help scale initiatives
Scaling solar for mini-grids High capex cost and lack of sustainable business models make mini-grids unviable
With collaborative interventions around innovative financing,
- pportunity to scale de-
centralized grid models
Scaling roof top solar Lack of skilled manpower to deploy and maintain roof top solar assets impacts growth
Opportunity to build capacity at scale through skilling programmes to improve design, installation & maintenance of roof top solar assets
Scaling E-mobility & storage through solar Lack of standardization restricts technology development and alignment on technology
- ptions
By ensuring collective development of common technical standards ISA can help address some major gaps constraining uptake of e-mobility
Innovative financing for solar energy (Increase access to and reduce cost of financing by mobilizing capital and leveraging instruments such as blended finance etc.) 1 2 3 4 Vertical intervention areas Horizontal levers Other priority levers for ISA (Undertake knowledge dissemination, capacity building, advocacy and technology innovation to promote solar energy deployment) 5
