    "description": "<p>Despite the abundance of renewable energy resources in the country, the rural and urban<br>\ncommunities in Ethiopia are suffering from shortage of electricity. The grid electricity could not<br>\nreach many areas due to inaccessibly related to remoteness. Solar energy, a resource widely<br>\navailable throughout the country, is also not utilized. Accordingly, this study tries to identify<br>\nlimits on technical and social benefits of solar photovoltaic technologies in Ethiopia thereby its<br>\nuse to increase electricity access. Thus we assess factors affecting the dissemination activities,<br>\nsuch as solar PV installation practices, Solar Home and institutional system distribution<br>\nstrategies, system failures and their causes. To conduct this research, we performed desk<br>\nreviews, Key informant interview, focus group discussions and field surveys. In addition, we<br>\nanalyzed the impact of PV orientation by comparing simulation result made by PVsyst software<br>\nat various angles observed during field survey. One Kebles from each four regions, namely<br>\nSNNPR, Amhara, Oromia and Tigrai regions were selected, where about 20 households were<br>\nsurveyed. In doing so, Factors affecting the dissemination activities as well as best orientation<br>\nwere able to be determined. The study also assess that, how Availability of replacement and<br>\nmaintenance, lack of Public awareness creation and institutional problems, tariff and shortage<br>\nof market can affect the accessibility and large scale distribution of PV system</p>",
