    <subfield code="a">&lt;p&gt;Despite the abundance of renewable energy resources in the country, the rural and urban&lt;br&gt;
communities in Ethiopia are suffering from shortage of electricity. The grid electricity could not&lt;br&gt;
reach many areas due to inaccessibly related to remoteness. Solar energy, a resource widely&lt;br&gt;
available throughout the country, is also not utilized. Accordingly, this study tries to identify&lt;br&gt;
limits on technical and social benefits of solar photovoltaic technologies in Ethiopia thereby its&lt;br&gt;
use to increase electricity access. Thus we assess factors affecting the dissemination activities,&lt;br&gt;
such as solar PV installation practices, Solar Home and institutional system distribution&lt;br&gt;
strategies, system failures and their causes. To conduct this research, we performed desk&lt;br&gt;
reviews, Key informant interview, focus group discussions and field surveys. In addition, we&lt;br&gt;
analyzed the impact of PV orientation by comparing simulation result made by PVsyst software&lt;br&gt;
at various angles observed during field survey. One Kebles from each four regions, namely&lt;br&gt;
SNNPR, Amhara, Oromia and Tigrai regions were selected, where about 20 households were&lt;br&gt;
surveyed. In doing so, Factors affecting the dissemination activities as well as best orientation&lt;br&gt;
were able to be determined. The study also assess that, how Availability of replacement and&lt;br&gt;
maintenance, lack of Public awareness creation and institutional problems, tariff and shortage&lt;br&gt;
of market can affect the accessibility and large scale distribution of PV system&lt;/p&gt;</subfield>
