UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Reviews Solar Power in Africa
Areas of Africa will soon be approaching the tipping point at which solar power will be cheaper and more affordable in comparison to fossil fuels. In a recent report, UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that Africa will be tripling its electricity demand by 2030. As the cost for renewable energy continues to decrease with the increase of demand and advancements in solar cell technology, the expansion of renewable in developing areas continues to increase. “The surprising find is that the wind and solar resources in Africa are absolutely gigantic, and something you could tap into for
