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