- W3092508593 abstract "This paper examines how the diffusion of solar technology to low-income populations in India is shaped by people’s requirements for low-cost and adaptable energy solutions. Recent energy scholarship suggests that businesses selling high-quality, low-cost, functionally-fixed ‘standardized’ off-grid solar products at volume can drive the mass diffusion of solar technology to low-income populations. High-profile solar businesses operate under the assumption that with this model they can capture demand in ‘bottom of the pyramid’ markets. The paper firstly challenges the assumption of homogenous bottom of the pyramid markets that this model relies upon. Based upon empirical data from the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, the paper then examines how solar businesses adopting this model have struggled, only selling significant numbers of units when subsidised. It looks at how informal shops are, in contrast, thriving by offering low-cost, improvised, and adaptable solar products, without subsidies. It shows how these products are meeting people’s requirements for low-cost solar solutions that are functionally flexible and which can be altered, added to incrementally, upgraded, and easily repaired locally. In conclusion, the paper argues actors working on energy access must re-examine promotion schemes and quality-standards that privilege functionally-fixed, standardized solar products. It suggests supporting modularity as one alternative compatible with demand for adaptability, both in function and time." @default.
