Around 140,000 Mongolian families in rural areas rely on animal husbandry for their living, making this an important sector of the Mongolian economy. 81,000 of these families are nomadic moving their tents and livestock to new pastures. Over 1,000 PV systems have now been installed in Mongolian households under national, UNDP and Japanese co-operation projects. As a result of studies and appraisals undertaken for UNDP and Danida a marketing strategy is being developed for the commercialization of photovoltaics. This paper reports on market study results and the development of financing mechanisms, rural credit and livestock product bartering.
