摘      要：Grid-connected rooftop solar photovoltaic(PV)systems can reduce the energy demand from the grid and significantly increase the power available to ***,rooftop solar PV has not yet been widely adopted in many sub-Saharan African countries,such as Sudan,although they are endowed with high solar radiation and in dire need of additional *** paper investigates risks and policies to increase grid-connected rooftop solar PV adoption in Sudan.A simplified United Nations Development Program Derisking Renewable Energy Investment framework is adopted to investigate this over three *** Stage 1,a list of risks and barriers was produced based on a literature review of solar PV studies in Sudan and interviews with nine *** was the risk most often mentioned(eight times from nine interviewees),followed by concerns about poor utility grid *** Stage 2,policy de-risking instruments and financial de-risking instruments were listed to overcome the *** include the intro-duction of net metering,the use of a third-party organization to monitor policy implementation,upgrade of the grid infrastructure,public awareness campaigns and energy-saving *** Stage 3,the levelized cost of electricity was estimated for a typical 2-kW rooftop PV system without policies(0.11$/kWh)and with a net-metering policy(0.07$/kWh).
