The government of Uganda has reached key milestones in its commitment to increasing energy access in all parts of the country. This is being done through several policies such as, increasing power generation, the free grid connection policy, encouraging mini grids and support of off-grid solutions. The private sector plays a vital role in accelerating energy access by complementing government programs. The Uganda Solar Energy Association (USEA) is a non-profit business member organisation facilitating the growth and development of private companies operating in the solar sector in Uganda and the East African region. USEA members’ innovations in off-grid products and business models such as Pay-as-you-go (PAYGo) are already accelerating energy access to off-grid communities in Uganda

In order to get a better understanding of the contribution of its members in the off-grid solar industry, USEA has undertaken an off-grid solar market data collection (SMDC) exercise. This pilot market survey and data collection aim to assess the volume of sales of member companies in 2018.
