Introduction. Solar energy is one of the leading potential resources in solving the energy deficit in sub-Saharan Africa, yet the entire continent accounts for less than 1% of global solar PV installed capacity [1].The all-year-round availability and near-uniform distribution of solar energy in the sub-region provides the flexibility of energy …
Solar thermal generates energy indirectly by harnessing radiant energy from the sun to heat fluid, either to generate heat, or electricity. To produce electricity, steam produced from heating the fluid is used to power generators. 1 This is different from photovoltaic solar panels, which directly convert the sun''s radiation to electricity. 2.
The Global Solar Atlas provides a summary of solar power potential and solar resources globally.
