Abstract
Abstract: This chapter explores the role of microgrid solutions in providing affordable and sustainable energy to remote and off-grid areas, where energy poverty remains a significant challenge. Microgrids, particularly those powered by solar technology, offer a viable alternative to traditional centralized energy systems by delivering reliable and clean energy to underserved communities. The chapter examines the technical architecture of microgrids, recent innovations in solar energy and energy storage, and successful case studies of microgrid implementations in developing regions. It highlights the economic viability of microgrids, innovative financing models, and the importance of community engagement and gender inclusion in ensuring the success of these projects. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the scalability, replicability, and future prospects of microgrids in expanding energy access and supporting sustainable development goals. Keywords: microgrid solutions, affordable energy, sustainable energy, remote areas, solar technology, energy poverty, off-grid energy access, energy storage, economic viability, community engagement, gender inclusion, scalability, renewable energy, sustainable development
