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

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are less expensive and easier to construct than other renewable energy sources, such as wind or hydroelectric turbines.

They also generate electricity at an efficiency of approximately 42%, which is about two percentage points higher than the efficiency of wind turbines.

The ever-increasing need for energy, the ongoing push to lessen reliance on fossil fuels for the generation of power, as well as financial incentives and regulatory support for the expansion of solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies contribute to this trend are all drivers that are propelling solar energy forward.

In addition to the low installation and maintenance costs, other drivers propelling solar energy forward include rising energy demand.…
