*** Sales for open-market components is estimated to be between 2 to 2.5 million in 2016 and 2022.
Pico: Lanterns and simple multi-light systems (which may enable mobile charging) of 0-10.999 Wp. These enable partial or full Tier 1 electricity access to a person or household.
Plug-and-play SHS: All-in-one packaged SHS kits of 11+ Wp, typically powering several lights as well as energy-efficient appliances, and enabling full Tier 1 or higher electricity access for a household.
Component-based systems: Devices in which components (i.e. PV module, battery, lights, inverter,
wiring, etc.) are compiled independently. These devices are typically SHS
(11+ Wp), but can be smaller.
