• Locus of energy & locus of impacts• Solar and wind; fuel cells/hydrogen infrastructure
– Solar, wind, and biomass energy in developing nations
• Energy policy– Beyond the environment vs. economy debate
• Deep cuts in carbon emissions• Energy and society
– Energy and health impacts: equity differences based on gender, ethnicity and socioeconomics

With so much attention focused on this risk, we must not loose sight of the reasons for the current situation?

A Simple Plan: Energy Policy
• September 11 illustrates the basic problems with U. S. resource/economic policy.
• The U. S. has an energy policy, and it has been the same for the last Century: cheap wins.
• We can debate the past but the current policy is bad business today. Instead, consider what makes sense:
• Energy diversity = energy security = sound economics• This is not happening, despite amazing advances• Lets look at why we got here, and our options.

Introduction to the Kenyan Market
• Pop: 30 million, 75% rural
• Per capita income ~ $300 ($1000 ppp adjusted)
• Only 2% of rural pop. is served by the electrical grid
• Largest solar PV market per capita among non-industrialized countries
• EAA/RAEL work in solar market for 15+ years
University of California, Berkeley • Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory • http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~rael
Kenya Solar Market Growth Linked to Infrastructure & Capacity Building Efforts?
• SHS market grew out of donor aid market in 1980s
• Infrastructure & capacity building support key for sustained growth

• Lower capital cost than x-Si
• More fragile than x-si
• Reputation for inconsistent performance

Kenya Solar Market Supply Chain
• 75% of market = unsubsidized SHS sales
• Solar supply chain is competitive & extensive– ~10 major import companies
– 50+ solar vendors in Nairobi
– ~ 500 town based vendors
– 1000 to 2000 solar technicians
– 20,000 SHS sold annually
• A regional hub

Linking Research to Action: Communicating Conclusions to Get Results

University of California, Berkeley • Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory • http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~rael
Linking Research to Action:Building Capacity in the Kenya Solar Market
• Solarnet: Communicating with solar technicians– “AJ’s Technical Tips” for capacity building - Arne Jacobson
• Seminars in Nairobi– stakeholder meeting on capacity building in solar industry
• Support fundraising to implement recommendations
University of California, Berkeley • Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory • http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~rael
Kenya Solar Supply Chain Survey Results
• Key Results:– Non-specialist solar technicians & vendors
dominate the Kenyan solar supply chain– Few non-specialists have adequate training &
knowledge to provide high quality services– Willingness to pay for training &
information is high
• Non-specialists are vendors & technicians for whom solar is only a small part of work
University of California, Berkeley • Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory • http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~rael
Seven Reasons for Emergence of the Kenya Solar Home System Market
1) Electricity from grid is unavailable
2) Automotive battery use high in rural areas
3) Television broadcast signals in rural Kenya
4) PV import companies in Nairobi in 1980s– SHS supply chain grew out of donor aid supply chain
5) Innovative marketing by solar vendors (catalysts)
6) Price of solar & accessories decreasing over time
7) Kenyan rural middle class development– cash crops, remittances, & rural teachers
University of California, Berkeley • Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory • http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~rael
Capacity Building in the Kenya Solar Market
• Conventional Wisdom– Training has focused on creating solar specialists
• Our Recommendations (and Actions...)– Focus training on non-specialist technicians & vendors– Use short training courses to reach many technicians & vendors– Include solar training in electrical courses at polytechnics– Business management is alien to courses in what is seen as a ‘technical
trade’– Disseminate information through trade magazines

We have decisions to make
A real transportation strategy is an important part of any clean energy plan
• For example: adopt a minimum, CAFE fleet average (e.g. 30 mpg, then ramp up)• Efficiency rewards in parking, parking fines (why not energy efficient mortgages?)

Enabling Technologies:Fuel Cells
• Fuel cells are being developed for use in electric vehicles, for stationary distributed power generation (DG), and for powering electronic devices.
• High Efficiency Systems w/Untapped Potential: Fuel cell systems today have electrical efficiencies of 40-55%, but with use of waste heat energy, overall efficiencies can reach >80%.
• Multiple Benefits: Fuel cell vehicles can play an important role in generating power for buildings, while the vehicles are parked. – There is about 14 times as much power in the vehicle
fleet as in all the stationary power plants in the U.S.!
