 <u>Moreover, Pico PV systems may well be part of a solution, by allowing “'''pre-electrification'''”. There are several good reasons to be bullish regarding the potential of this emerging off-grid market segment:</u>
 *Pico PV systems are over-the-counter consumer products and don’t need specific know-how for installation or O&M. Therefore, distribution has ''lower transaction costs ''than for all other grid or off-grid alternatives.
 *The ''welfare gain ''from electrification at household level is arguably largest after stepping from flame-based lighting to efficient electric lights.
 *Grid electrification is perceived by the vast majority of households as the “gold standard” of electrification. But with PicoPV systems, consumers do not fear that PicoPV lamps will bar them from future grid roll-out, as they often do in the case of SHSs.<ref name="Difference">_</ref>
