This data set contains GIS source data files showing breakeven installed costs for solar PV system (unit: US$/Wp) over Africa South of Sahara calculated in a study that compares the economic cost of groundwater pumping for irrigation powered by solar PV and diesel energy. It consists of three sets of data files for three scenarios:
Breakeven installed cost calculated under reference diesel fuel price scenario (price escalation rate=2%);
Breakeven installed cost calculated under high diesel fuel price scenario (price escalation rate=4%);
Breakeven installed cost calculated under low diesel fuel price scenario (price escalation rate=0). Geospatial Data The file path provided in the metadata of data files will aggregate files under the scenario described in the description during the download.
