Dataset

Data repository for 'Understanding long-term energy use in off-grid solar home systems in sub-Saharan Africa'

Documentation:: This dataset contains hourly load demand time-series from 1,000 off-grid solar home systems deployed across sub-Saharan Africa. These systems typically power lighting, phone charging, fans, radios, and small televisions. Each column represents one household, with hourly consumption values (Wh) recorded for 391–1232 days. Further details are provided in the associated preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.14630
