SOLAR HOME SYSTEMS

PSL has been the main field implementer for financial and technical monitoring of
KfW funded solar home systems in Bangladesh during 2007-2012. This entailed
technical monitoring of more than 11,500 SHS based on Field survey of IDCOL’s
Partner organizations including quality and quantity of physical installation, technical
performance and measurement of equipment and their maintenance. For this project
PSL also managed the consortium of 3 firms (PSL, PSE AG and INTEC of Germany).
