    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;The purpose of this study was focused on assessment of stand-alone solar photovoltaic power&lt;br&gt; systems performance and reliability for rural electrification in Ethiopia. It was conducted to&lt;br&gt; assess and evaluate the data collections which were administered on samples randomly selected&lt;br&gt; sites installed in the Benshangul Gumuz, Tigray, Oromia and Amhara regions of Ethiopia. About&lt;br&gt; ten sample sites were identified for each regions and data gathering were made using solar&lt;br&gt; photovoltaic systems investigation check list (see appendices I -VI ) for almost two months. The&lt;br&gt; solar and wind master plan of Ethiopia (used as indicated on the solar radiations data) has a&lt;br&gt; huge solar energy potential for rural electrification through the off-grid system in the samples of&lt;br&gt; randomly selected sites of solar home systems (SHS) and institutional systems (like health post&lt;br&gt; and rural primary schools) in the four regions. The data collected were analyzed using&lt;br&gt; descriptive survey; theoretical, mathematical formulation experimental models, emission&lt;br&gt; reduction analysis and PVsyst software analysis. The analysis and interpretation of data have&lt;br&gt; been made according to the objectives. As can be seen from the investigation of SHS oc V was&lt;br&gt; decreased by 1.54V (7%), sc I whereas decreased by 7.961A (97.3%). Thereby, the output power&lt;br&gt; out oc sc P V  I&lt;br&gt; was reduced by 4.37W (21.85%) after installation&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
