Africa's solar market far bigger than estimated

CleanTechnica reports that the true size of Africa's solar energy market has been vastly underestimated, arguing that solar deployment across the continent is far larger than official figures suggest. The piece ties into broader discussion of renewable energy growth in Africa, with tags referencing Egypt and a National Geographic documentary on solar energy and wildlife.

Why now: A new report arguing official statistics badly undercount Africa's solar growth has reignited debate about the continent's renewable energy potential.
