 The African continent faces challenges such as high vulnerability to climate change, fast population growth, low electrification and need for renewable energy transition. Solar energy is a viable option, and new regional climate simulation results project that the high solar potentials will not be significantly reduced throughout Africa with climate change, but PV solar potential may decrease up to 10% in limited areas of eastern central Africa while increases are projected in northwest and southern Africa.
