PV Solar system markets in Africa

Governments, NGO's and UN organisations are increasingly convinced that renewable energies not only help to solve energy problems in Africa but are indispensable in alleviating regional disparities, social problems and bridging the digital gap. Still, many years after introducing high efficiency solar PV systems the necessary breakthrough of implementing them on a mass scale is still not a reality. Ka~im A~d, Kyocera Fineceramics GmbH, provides perspectives on developing solar PV in Africa.
