There are over 650 million people in Africa who have no access to electricity; this is in sharp contrast to the continent's vast untapped renewable energy potential and due largely to the historical lack of investments in energy infrastructure. New investments in decentralised power generation within Sub-Saharan Africa play a progressively importan...

In this data article, we present datasets from the construction of a composite indicator, the Photovoltaic Decentralised Energy Investment (PV-DEI) index, presented in detail in [1]. This article consists of the comprehensive energy-related data collected in practice from several sources, and from the outputs of the methodology described in [1]. Th...

... Considering the results obtained from [14] and [20] we decided to implement a random forest algorithm (MissForest). In fact, MissForest made fewer assumptions about the shape of each dataset and did not require a specific regression model to be specified for imputation. ...
... 52,53 Furthermore, the continuous decline in PV cost made off-grid solar PV technologies relevant for rural electrification, particularly in remote areas where grid connections are expensive or national budgets for electricity access are limited. [54][55][56][57][58][59] Last, solar PV systems are resilient to climate change. 30,60 Given all of the above, it seems logical model can coherently model the transition of on-grid and off-grid solutions in a comprehensive energy system transition. ...
