  Hurrah! Your beloved energypedia is getting a new software update to ensure faster and easier knowledge exchange and sharing on energypedia. After the new software update, you can expect a new and updated energypedia with a responsive design.
 Hence, from 30 Aug to 15 Sep, energypedia will be on read-only mode and you will not be able to download/upload content or create/edit articles on energypedia.

        				  GHG reduction potential of SHS  
- "Savings of 9 tonnes of CO2 equivalent GHG emissions within a 20-year period of use of one single 50 Wp SHS"; => 0.45 t CO2/year[1] 
 - "Typical SHS of 10-50 Wp will directly displace roughly 0.15-0.30 tons of CO2 per year through fuel substitutions mostly of kerosene."[2] 
 - "During a previous analysis of 8 case studies, it was found roughly 0.25 tons of CO2 per average system of 44 Wp per year would represent a conservative but reasonable global value. […] 70% of the analysed emission reductions were actually higher than 250 kg."[3]
