Objective This work will document European experience in the implementation of PV programmes in developing countries and will describe the major successful implementation programmes, with a critical assessment of the factors influencing that success. The project benefited from the close co-operation of all partners and managed to meet all its objectives. It is the first time that photovoltaic projects have been evaluated in non-technical terms, and it is the first time a set of guidelines has been developed from such an assessment.There has not been to date, an attempt to bring together the expertise of a number of leading centres in the field to cooperate on the identification of success stories of PV implementation. Nor has there been a collaborative attempt to undertake a critical assessment of these success stories to identify the factors to emulate, and those to avoid, if the chances of success are to be maximised. The first step will be to identify the PV programmes which have been successful and select those for detailed study. After these studies, the programmes will be analysed to extract general criteria for success or failure. Guidelines can then be devised for PV project planners which will enhance the probability of a successful outcome of their project. The final document to be delivered at the end of the contract will include the reports on each of the selected PV programmes, the critical assessments of these programmes and the guide-lines.
