Abstract
Increasing the expected life time of energy systems for rural electrification is a crucial step towards sustainable electrification. While there are reports of solar home systems failing prematurely, the durability considerations made for these systems have not yet received much attention. In this paper, two solar home systems have been dissected, and the durability aspects of their design and compliance to their respective standard have been assessed. It has been shown that the life-time of the systems can be significantly enhanced. It has furthermore been argued that the metrics with which advancements in universal energy access is currently measured are incomplete and should incorporate the durability of such energy systems.
