A case study detailing the installation of a 924 kWp rooftop solar PV system by Gham Power for Laxmi Steels in Sunwal, Nepal, to reduce reliance on the grid and diesel generators. The project also serves as a pilot for the GRIPS2 project, integrating a 2 MW / 4 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and an AI-powered Microgrid Management System.

A case study detailing the installation of an 83.16 kWp rooftop solar PV system by Gham Power for Datahub Nepal's data centre in Tilottama, Butwal, to reduce reliance on diesel generators and an unreliable grid.

This case study describes the installation of a 31.6 kWp commercial rooftop solar PV system at KIOCH, a pediatric hospital in Damak, Jhapa, Nepal, to address grid instability and reduce reliance on diesel generators.

This case study describes the installation of a 1.3 MW rooftop solar PV system for Goyal Ispat, a metal factory in Ramgram, Parasi, Nepal, to reduce reliance on the grid and diesel generators.

This case study describes the implementation of decentralized solar micro-grids by GHE in Ladakh and northeast India to provide clean energy to remote communities where national grid extension is unfeasible.

A case study detailing the installation of a solar-powered water pumping system by GadgetroniX in Kizimbani, Pemba, Tanzania, to replace unreliable grid and fuel-powered systems.

This report by RMI outlines a strategic roadmap for scaling utility-enabled distributed energy resources (DERs) in Nigeria to improve power reliability and increase distribution company (DisCo) revenues.

The Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Indiana has implemented a series of energy efficiency and clean energy initiatives over two decades to align its campus with its 'creation care' philosophy. These efforts include the construction of a LEED Gold-certified library using geothermal heating and cooling, the installation of two solar arrays, and comprehensive energy retrofits of existing buildings, resulting in a significant reduction in annual energy consumption between 2013 and 2022.

A fact sheet detailing a CNY 100 million green bond issued by Sihui Rural Commercial Bank on April 10, 2018, to fund waste recycling, public transport, and environmental infrastructure projects.

This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute (WRI) outlines how Illinois can achieve its Clean Power Plan (CPP) emissions-reduction targets through a three-step approach involving existing policy implementation, operational efficiency in fossil plants, and the expansion of clean energy standards.

This case study describes SolarTaxi, a Ghana-based electric vehicle manufacturer supported by Persistent Energy Capital (an FSDAi investee). SolarTaxi designs, assembles, and leases low-cost solar-powered two-wheel and four-wheel vehicles to address urban transportation inefficiencies and fossil fuel dependence in Ghana and broader Africa.

This technical factsheet by GreenCape outlines the application of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology to reduce energy costs and carbon footprints at wastewater treatment works (WWTWs) in South Africa. It details system configurations, financial metrics, and the necessary steps for municipal implementation.

This research paper by Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) argues that Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) is a superior financial tool compared to simple payback analysis for evaluating energy efficiency measures (EEMs) in building construction and retrofits. The authors advocate for a comprehensive four-step LCCA process—establishing a baseline, defining EEMs, calculating financial metrics, and bundling measures—to capture synergistic benefits and avoid sub-optimal design choices.

This case study describes the "Scaling sustainable and inclusive Solar Home Systems" project in Uganda, a Team Europe funded initiative by ENGIE Energy Access. The project provides affordable solar home systems (SHS) to off-grid communities, focusing on women-led households and rural service infrastructure.
