Call for projects – Results-Based Financing (RBF) – SHS / PUE – Guichet 3 – Window 1 : Solar inverters
Application period : 28/04/2026 - 12/06/2026
About this call
Guichet 3 (Productive Use of Energy) - Window 1: Solar Inverters aims to support the introduction and development of solar inverters in the off-grid solar system (OGS) market in Madagascar. This equipment converts solar energy into alternating current, making it easier to use for productive purposes. More broadly, Guichet 3 aims to improve access to productive assets by reducing their cost to end users, to facilitate their acquisition and distribution by market actors, and to encourage the development of tailored financing solutions, particularly through the involvement of the local financial sector and the use of innovative models such as PAYGO or leasing. Through this initiative, the DECIM Fund also aims to identify the most promising PUE applications and the most effective support mechanisms, in order to guide future programs and public policy.
