Repairability is a manageable and realistic mechanism for product lifetime extension. Quantifiable assessments, like the new European standard for the assessment of repairability, reusability and upgradeability, have introduced new steps for increasing the sustainability of electronic and electrical products. The global off-grid solar sector is presented with an important opportunity to demonstrate its leadership on sustainability, whilst creating more value for consumers and companies.

This webinar was based on the working paper, Pathways to Repair in the Global Off-Grid Sector, by the Efficiency for Access Coalition and the University of Edinburgh that provides up to date information on repair and repairability in the off-grid solar sector for manufacturers, distributors, energy access policy makers and researchers.
