本研究は、ナイジェリアとガーナにおける太陽光技術導入の主要な促進要因を、文献レビューと現地調査（2023年11月～2026年1月）を組み合わせた混合手法で特定した。その結果、入手可能性と手頃さが実際の意思決定を支配し、その意味は国や部門によって異なることが分かった。ナイジェリアでは不安定な電力供給の代替として、ガーナでは高い系統電力料金の代替として太陽光が採用されている。

This study identifies key drivers of solar technology adoption in Nigeria and Ghana using a mixed-method approach combining literature review and field visits (Nov 2023-Jan 2026). It finds that availability and affordability dominate user decisions, with meanings varying by country and sector. In Nigeria, solar substitutes for unreliable electricity supply; in Ghana, it substitutes for higher grid tariffs. The study emphasizes the need for context-specific interventions.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本企業がアフリカ市場で太陽光事業を展開する際、現地の電力事情や価格感応度を理解する上で示唆に富む。日本のエネルギー政策とは直接関係しないが、途上国向けの技術輸出や国際協力の文脈で参考になる。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to global energy transition scholarship by highlighting how local context shapes solar adoption, challenging universal assumptions. It offers insights for international development agencies and investors targeting West African markets, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract Clean energy innovation and adoption is critical to addressing energy poverty in West Africa. This article focuses on identifying which drivers actually govern solar technology adoption in West Africa and how energy users themselves interpret them. By utilizing a mixed method approach that combines desk review of academic and policy literature with field visits (direct observation and stakeholder interviews across Nigeria and Ghana) we explored the major drivers of clean solar energy adoption. The field engagement was conducted between November 2023 and January 2026, and the resulting observations and discussion notes were analyzed thematically and compared across (residential, commercial and industrial) sectors in Nigeria and Ghana. We found that two drivers, availability and affordability, dominated user decisions in practice, whose meaning differs (between the two countries, by the sectors studied, and from the global energy access definitions). This study reveals that: (1) local context and sector-specific meanings shape solar energy technology adoption and use across countries and sectors; (2) solar adoption strategies substitute for unreliable electricity supply in Nigeria, while in Ghana it substitutes for higher grid tariff. It concludes by highlighting the need for a clear understanding of the contextual dimensions of these drivers for effective interventions.
