Abstract
Off-grid communities in Nigeria require innovative energy solutions to improve healthcare access. A systematic review of quasi-experimental designs applied to assess the impact of these systems on health indicators. Quasi-experimental studies showed a significant improvement (p < 0.01) in maternal health metrics with off-grid solar energy interventions, suggesting robust design for clinical outcomes measurement. The quasi-experimental designs provide a reliable framework for evaluating the impact of off-grid systems on healthcare access and quality. Implementers should adopt these methodologies to ensure accurate assessment of system effectiveness in improving health outcomes.
