maximized by use of a sufficiently large sample that allows room for non-response.

Further, SEF will provide training, such as interview techniques, to parties involved in the
monitoring plan to ensure accuracy and completeness of data recorded Thus, unbiased responses
shall be received.
In the exceptional case that the monitoring period would cover two or more years and not one
year, to safeguard that the lamps that are checked during sampling are age representative, an age
weighted sub-sample is generated. The number of sample lamps from the Sample Database that
is included in the Sample Groups shall have the same weight as all lamps deployed in year a
relative to the total of lamps sold under the project. E.g. if in the first year 10,000 lamps have
been sold and in year two 20,000 lamps have been sold the number of sample lamps in the
Sample Group from year two will be two times the number of lamps coming from year one2.
This mechanism guarantees that the Sample Group’s average age is equal to the average age of
the total population of lamps.

A supervisor from SEF is responsible for coordinating the sample activities has the responsibility
to determine the annual sample schedule. The supervisor will receive all the information required
on the number of systems installed from the Solar Center.
The SEF supervisor will then randomly choose the households to be surveyed in each year and
submit a list to the Solar Center level monitoring team. Sample Findings will be transferred to
the SEF supervisor and his team for analysis. This will be done with reference to possible errors,
non-response rates and verification that sampling is on track to deliver the 90/10 level of
precision.
Manages central database to record sales of solar systems.
The central database holds the following information: Household location,
household identification number (depending on system type), client’s name,
system type ( ST-1,ST-2, ST.-5 or ST-10) and serial number of panel, battery and
charge controller for ST-10; panel and battery, for the remaining systems,
payment details, GPS data and the corresponding Solar Center under which the
household is listed. Household location and household identification number,
client’s name, system type and serial number, payment details, system
component details, GPS data and the corresponding Solar Center under which
the household is listed.
The data will be collected by the Solar Technicians in an excel sheet, which will
then be imported to the central database.
