AI and the Global South's Next Leap Forward
The next phase of the clean energy revolution will be led not by those who build more solar panels, but by those who modernise their grids, markets and institutions accordingly. In fact, AI-ready grids will be as crucial to the Global South’s development as traditional infrastructure such as roads and ports.

Strategic Pillars of ISA
Evolving Vision
Catalytic Finance Hub
The Hub will provide catalytic and blended finance to mitigate risk and attract private investment across Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Caribbean, building on the success of the Africa Solar Facility under the Global Solar Facility (GSF).
Global Capability Centre and Digitisation
To accelerate solar energy uptake across ISA Member Countries, the initiative will address supply chain diversification and emerging technologies, including solar PV, AgriPV, Floating PV, BIPV, battery storage, e-mobility, green hydrogen, grid interconnection, and solar heating and cooling.
Regional and Country-Level Engagement
Through platforms such as the SIDS platform, the initiative will advance e-tendering and e-procurement for aggregation and scaling, while deepening engagement with Member Countries across ISA's ten programmes.
Technology Roadmap and Policy
Pursuing a "Silicon Valley for solar" vision in India, the initiative links national centres of excellence including STAR-C through a hub-and-spoke model, mainstreaming innovation via the SolarX Startup Challenge and replicating proven solar models globally to reduce fossil fuel dependence.
What we do
Global Solar Platforms
Enabling targeted action through tailored finance, technology, and partnerships.
Global Solar Facility
A catalytic financing vehicle to attract private capital flows into underserved markets, beginning with Africa, through three funds: the payment guarantee, insurance and investment funds
ISA ACADEMY
ISA Academy will democratise solar learning and knowledge sharing globally, empowering individuals, institutions, investors and nations to accelerate the solar transition
STAR-C
STAR Centres build the required human capacity and skills within member countries to undertake the energy transition independently, while boosting economic growth and job creation
Global Mission on ai for energy
Global Mission on AI for Energy, is a collective effort to bring together governments, industry, financial institutions, and multilateral partners to build citizen-centric energy systems
SIDS PLATFORM
