- This work relies on the rigorous analysis of Microgeneration data to calculate PV-based single household electrification along side that of 25 and 100 house microgrids. Results show that gridding many solar microgeneration systems together leads to better power management, and thus efficiency. This work has informed and allowed energy consumers in rural regions to understand, organise and control their energy consumption and expenditure patterns in self-empowering ways
