Solar energy Powering and Funding Africa’s economy

Today Africa is on the frontier of ushering in a new age of technology in its various economic sectors. As such, the continent needs to provide not only sufficient and sustainable energy but also one that has scalability, ensuring that each sector benefits from it. Thus, experts and innovators have turned to solar energy to power other vital economies while contributing to Africa's overall market potential. Indeed the concept of Solar power energy has worked in Africa's favour over the past few decades. Unfortunately, renewable energy is still relatively new in Africa; thus, only a few benefit from its revolutionary concept. Here is a brief look at how solar energy powers and funds Africa's ecosystem. Understanding Africa's Solar power potential To understand any concept, we must first understand the context behind it. The concept of solar energy is no new term in this digital era. The concept of Solar energy dates back to the 7th century BC. It emerged when humans found a way to concentrate the sunbeams to light fire through magnifying glasses.
