Overview: Green House Gas (GHG) Reduction Potential
The potential of Solar home system to reduce green house gases has been highly discussed. The following points below could be used to argue that Solar Home System could potentially reduce the green house gases:
"Savings of 9 tonnes of CO2 equivalent GHG emissions within a 20-year period of use of one single 50 Wp SHS"; => 0.45 t CO2/year[1]
"Typical SHS of 10-50 Wp will directly displace roughly 0.15-0.30 tons of CO2 per year through fuel substitutions mostly of kerosene."[2]
"During a previous analysis of 8 case studies, it was found roughly 0.25 tons of CO2 per average system of 44 Wp per year would represent a conservative but reasonable global value. […] 70% of the analysed emission reductions were actually higher than 250 kg."[3]
