To gain a better understanding of off-grid solar adoption patterns, this research carried out a mixed-methods study in Uganda involving 554 households. Participating households had bought either a solar portable lamp (SPL) using cash, a mini-solar home system (SHS) using PAYG financing, or a larger SHS using microcredit in 2015, and we tracked their energy product purchasing behaviour through early 2017. The study evaluated whether adoption followed an ‘energy ladder’ pattern for solar products in which buying a small product (e.g. SPL) contributed to subsequent purchases of larger systems. It further investigated the role of flexible financing in aiding the adoption of solar products, and the extent to which the purchase and use of PAYG solar devices can contribute to increased digital financial inclusion.
The study used a combination of telephone customer surveys, comprising an initial survey (n=554) and follow-up survey conducted in two regions of Uganda between mid-2016 and early 2017 (n=498), and in-person customer interviews (n=105) conducted in the field. In addition, the study analysed data on mobile money transactions obtained from MTN Uganda for the customer sample (n=458). The research further draws on field observations about market conditions, and interviews conducted
