The conference “Solar Technologies & Hybrid Mini Grids to improve energy access” will take place in Bad Hersfeld, Metropolitan area Frankfurt, Germany, from 21-23 September 2016. The conference merges three very successful conferences into one, namely:

• PV-Hybrids and Mini-Grids (7 editions)
• Small PV Applications (4 editions), and

This joining of forces aims at the implementation of more comprehensive, higher impact conference which is focusing on PV and other renewable energy based electricity, solar thermal systems and policy, government and donor programmes. The objective of the event is the consolidation of knowledge around solutions that have proven to work and their enabling factors, the presentation of different models of financing, business models and technologies that enable the fast uptake of such solutions and to provide new roads for research and innovation.
