  "description": "<p>The purpose of this study was focused on assessment of stand-alone solar photovoltaic power<br>\nsystems performance and reliability for rural electrification in Ethiopia. It was conducted to<br>\nassess and evaluate the data collections which were administered on samples randomly selected<br>\nsites installed in the Benshangul Gumuz, Tigray, Oromia and Amhara regions of Ethiopia. About<br>\nten sample sites were identified for each regions and data gathering were made using solar<br>\nphotovoltaic systems investigation check list (see appendices I -VI ) for almost two months. The<br>\nsolar and wind master plan of Ethiopia (used as indicated on the solar radiations data) has a<br>\nhuge solar energy potential for rural electrification through the off-grid system in the samples of<br>\nrandomly selected sites of solar home systems (SHS) and institutional systems (like health post<br>\nand rural primary schools) in the four regions. The data collected were analyzed using<br>\ndescriptive survey; theoretical, mathematical formulation experimental models, emission<br>\nreduction analysis and PVsyst software analysis. The analysis and interpretation of data have<br>\nbeen made according to the objectives. As can be seen from the investigation of SHS oc V was<br>\ndecreased by 1.54V (7%), sc I whereas decreased by 7.961A (97.3%). Thereby, the output power<br>\nout oc sc P \uf03dV \uf0b4 I<br>\nwas reduced by 4.37W (21.85%) after installation</p>",
