Introduction
Renewable energy has a great potential to replace traditional diesel based systems in humanitarian settings having a positive impact on the environment, supply security as well as finances.
This article provides a list of tools/guides/handbooks on integrating solar energy into humanitarian settings. Should you have resources to feature on this page, simply edit and add your resources here.
Glossary for PV Systems
Developed by the GIZ ESDS, this glossary includes the common terminologies in the context of context of off-grid solar systems (components, storage applications, operation and maintenance).
Solar Energy Handbook for Humanitarian Settings
Developed by KUBE Energy, this handbook includes guidelines on how humanitarian organizations can integrate solar energy into their operations. It includes different options for transitioning to solar energy, pros and cons of each options and the good practices for transiting to solar energy.
Operation and Maintenance Plan
Developed by the GIZ ESDS, this document covers preventive maintenance, best use practices, and common malfunctions and defects experienced for the O&M of pico-solar PV systems, solar home systems (SHS) (including component-based SHS) and solar water pumps.
Procurement of Stand-alone Solar Kits for Humanitarian Aid
This Technical Note provides guidance on procuring pico-solar and solar home system (SHS) kits for humanitarian aid
https://www.lightingglobal.org/resource/procurement-of-stand-alone-solar-kits-for-humanitarian-aid/
Technical Assessment Tools
Solar AC Sizing Tool
This tool provides the feasibility assessment for the installation of solar powered air-conditioning (AC).

Toolbox on Solar Powered Irrigation
The Toolbox on Solar Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS) is designed to enable advisors, service providers and practitioners in the field of solar irrigation to provide broad hands-on guidance to end-users, policy-makers and financiers. Risks related to system efficiency, financial viability and the unsustainable use of water resources can thus be minimized. The Toolbox comprises informative modules supplemented with user-friendly software tools (calculations sheets, checklists, guidelines).
