Navajo residential solar energy access as a global model

Begay, Sandra K.

This case study focuses on the Navajo Nation's efforts to provided residential power access through solar photovoltaic systems to some of its approximately 34,000 remote off-grid tribal members. The solution the Nation has adopted in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories offers insights into how the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority's work could serve as a residential model to meet the needs of the 1.2 billion people globally who are without electrical residential power.
