ABSTRACT
Three main market development models for household PV systems in developing countries have been analysed: the greenfieid project model, the system engineering houses model and the traders model. Although the traders model may have the best track record in serving end-users in developing countries, little is done to support and expand this model. The paper calls for a broader view on PV market development in developing countries, and for instruments to be developed to strengthen especially the free market for household PV products in developing countries.
