Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) technology is well suited to supply electricity to the vast rural population living in remote hilly regions of Nepal. Centre for renewable energy (CRE), a NGO in Nepal with a long association in PV technology, participated in a regional research and dissemination program and essentially carried out adaptive research and development, demonstration, training, and dissemination. A study analyzes the current status of PV use and identifies the research and development needs and measures for PV market development. Locally manufactured charge controllers, DC lights, and DC-DC converters are tested, and the charge controller is modified to improve the performance. Dissemination activities consist of publication of instruction manuals, awareness creation through newspaper advertisements and radio programs, and organizing of seminars and workshops. The chapter describes these activities in detail.
