Many times grid based electricity is supplied for a short period of time in a day. Moreover, there are places where extension of grid is not possible or feasible. Thus decentralized systems are important to ensure electricity supply for a larger period or provide electricity to places where grid extension is not feasible. This section provides latest statistics and figures on decentralized systems, both solar and non-solar used for electricity generation.
