This methodology is applicable to activities that introduce solar-powered light emitting diode (LED) lighting technologies to reduce or avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by replacing fossil fuel-based lighting devices (e.g., kerosene wick lamps, hurricane lanterns, pressurized mantle lamps, diesel-powered lighting), candles, and/or inefficient dry-cell battery torches. The methodology applies to end-users in households, communities, and small commercial premises (e.g., shops, kiosks) located in areas with no grid connection or unreliable grid supply. However, the baseline service levels and emission caps for all non-residential installations are strictly limited to the residential household equivalent.
