Technical FAQs 4

Is solar PV a viable option in Africa?

To date, the potential of solar PV of different types (i.e, residential or utility scale) in Africa are still widely underutilized. Africa’s energy mix is currently mainly comprised of fossil fuels and biomass .

What are the recommendations for solar PV systems in Africa?

Table 5. List of recommendations for solar PV systems in Africa based on the reviewed literature. Affordability of rooftop solar PV should be increased through government incentives such as appropriate FiT, subsidies, tax relief, public–private partnership, grants, loans (low/zero-interest), and community loan sharing programmes.

Is solar PV waste a problem in Sub-Saharan Africa?

For rooftop solar PV, the literature is plenty, albeit some countries in sub-Saharan Africa lack research in this field. For example, Somalia, Chad, Niger, Malawi among others. For solar PV waste there is some research emerging in the field that indicate awareness of the growing problem in Africa. 7. Conclusion

Is Africa ready to handle end-of-life PV wastes?

End-of-life PV wastes are projected to rise rapidly in Africa with expected rising influx of rooftop solar PV. The level of preparedness of Africa to handle the mounting wastes as per the current status of policy framework and infrastructural development were assessed and found to be inadequate.
