In Rwanda, the minimum global horizontal irradiation is varying from 4.2 up to 5.8 kWh/m 2. However, its variability and uncontrollability are greatly depending on weather conditions.

PV microgrid distribution across the globe has been grown while taking advantage of free solar insolation during the day period.

Other sources of renewable energy are wind, fuel cells, biogas, tidal, and geothermal that can be produced to generate electricity locally. PV systems are placed into a microgrid as a local electricity distribution system that is operated in a controlled way and include both energy users and renewable energy generation. Photovoltaic technology has been an important topic for researchers from the last decade up to date. The results show that the LCOE for electricity production by each of the Grid connected-PV-Battery system, Diesel GenSet-PV-Batteries, and PV-Batteries systems was 0.0645 US$/1 kWh, 1.38 US$/1 kWh and 1.82 US$/1 kWh, respectively, compared with 0.2621 US$/1 kWh, the current residential electricity price (2020) for Rwanda. The simulation results based on economic comparison analysis found the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and net present cost (NPC) for each power-generated model by using Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (Homer) pro software. Moreover, the study resulted in a low-cost (four times cheaper), reliable, and affordable grid-connected PV and battery microgrid model for a residential home with a minimum daily load of 5.467 kWh. The study focused on the economic power generation model mainly based on solar resources to minimize the electricity cost and provide income for the excess energy produced.

The literature survey and data analysis collected on site were used to evaluate and determine the best cheaper microgrid model from the three comparison case studies for the household in Rwanda. The plan predicted 52% for grid-connected and 48% for off-grid (standalone) connections. Rwanda Energy Group (REG) sets the energy strategic plan since 2015 for achieving the minimum of 512 MW of energy production in 2024/2025 to meet the total energy demand. Nonrenewable sources in Rwanda including methane, peat, thermal, and fuels are also used for providing energy solutions for the citizens. Other renewable power sources include wind and geothermal energies that are not yet fully exploited. Although solar technology keeps on its advancement, hydropower remains the principal power source in Rwanda. Photovoltaic microgrids provide free renewable energy solutions for Rwandans.
