RE: How Solar Energy Is Fueling a Socio-Economic Revolution in Africa

in #solar6 years ago

Instead of waiting for their governments to build proper electricity infrastructures, under-served populations of sub Saharan Africa are increasingly relying on off-grid solar energy to improve their lives and well-beings.

If not from the government, how are solar power installations funded in Africa? @franck.kengne

Sort:  

M-Kopa in Kenya now provides basic electricity in over 275,000 households and plans to reach one million homes by 2017.

Have they achieved their goal last year?

I haven't looked too deeply into it recently, but there is no mention of it on their website. I definitely saw a lot more solar installations when I was in Africa this past year

I am not sure about Africa as a whole, but in Cameroon it is funded for the most part by the private sector. Countries like Morocco however have been heavily investing in solar
