This guidance provides instructions on the solarization process, including planning, sourcing, installation, and maintenance. It serves as a guide for country teams (Logistics Coordinators, technicians, engineers, Procurement Officers) and other stakeholders involved in this process. It includes legal, technical, and financial considerations when selecting facilities; financing options; and implementation steps. Additional sections look at detailed technical requirements and whether these can be acquired in-house or externally; and how to adequately compare diesel generators and solarisation equipment to properly account for costs and environmental impacts.
