Nomadic Power: The Case of Solar Panels in Mongolia
This chapter examines the use of solar power by nomadic herders as a way to both ensure access to electricity in the most rural regions and prevent the use of coal and electric

It builds upon the success of the SHS systems and plans $54.4 million USD for supplying nine of the country's provinces with energy grids, and installing Mongolia's first large-scale build photovoltaic solar energy (PV) plant. Note that this system would not be mobile, but rather a large solar farm in the Gobi.
Solar home systems were for sale in Mongolia by 1992, and perhaps earlier. Many of these systems were donated to Mongolia. For example in one early donation, between 1992 and 1996 Japan provided 200 solar power generators to herding families.
Speaking at the 95th anniversary of the establishment of Mongolia's energy sector, Minister of Energy, P. Gankhuu anticipated that Mongolia's energy sector will double in capacity by 2030, with an estimated 30% of the power coming from renewable energy (Government of Mongolia, 2017 ).
