The goal of this project was to develop a strategy for improving the sustainability of solar
home systems in rural Thailand. Heretofore, there has been no long term maintenance plan and
many are failing. Communications, attitudes of users and organizations, and funding sources and
requirements were researched through interviews with users, government officials, private
companies, and experts. We have proposed both short and long term recommendations and
developed a prototype web application to improve the overall lifetime of these systems.
