Can solar photovoltaics address current gaps in electricity access in Sub-Saharan Africa?

Nature Reviews Materials 9, 151–153 (2024) Cite this article Solar photovoltaics has tremendous potential to address current gaps in electricity access for resource-challenged settings, such as sub-Saharan Africa.

What is Power Africa off-grid project (PAOP)?

The Power Africa Off-grid Project (PAOP) was launched in November 2018 to accelerate off-grid electrification growth across SSA.

Can solar photovoltaics solve Africa's energy crisis?

Solar photovoltaics has tremendous potential to address current gaps in electricity access for resource-challenged settings, such as sub-Saharan Africa. However, a rapid surge in installations and future growth will lead to an increase in waste from panels and batteries, which needs to be tackled urgently.

How can solar photovoltaics tackle end-of-life challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa?

However, a rapid surge in installations and future growth will lead to an increase in waste from panels and batteries, which needs to be tackled urgently. Innovative technical solutions and improved policies and standards are required to address end-of-life challenges for solar photovoltaics in sub-Saharan Africa.
