Barefoot Solar Engineers (BSEs) Semi-literate and illiterate, rural men and women are trained as BSEs to install, fabricate, repair and maintain solar lighting units. BSEs play a key role in sustaining solar electrifications in inaccessible, rural villages because they not only install but also repair and maintain the solar units. They earn supplementary income by being paid in return of their services.
Jobs provided: The Barefoot approach of rural solar electrification has been replicated across 751 villages in 17 countries and 16 states of India. Since 1989, 416 people including 211 women, have fabricated, installed, repaired and maintained more than 14,800 fixed solar units and 8,585 solar lanterns. Their collective efforts have benefited at least 8,96,000 men, women and children.
