In this system, solar panels are set at the roof of a household and sunlight is received directly from the sun. In this way, it supplements shortages of power in a country, since each household has their own generator of power such that enough can be used at a minimal rate and the rest can be saved and used at a later time, leading to fewer cases of load shedding.

There is therefore need for the civil society to come in and raise that awareness on the benefits of using other sources of energy. It was highlighted that Electrification in the rural areas can be achieved by Grid Extension, discrete energy system like SHS,PVBCS as well as the use of lanterns(solar) where Solar sustainable energy aims to ensure that every person has access to clean, safe and effective energy supply,
