A new analysis argues that Africa's solar energy market has been substantially underestimated, with solar adoption across the continent growing faster than official figures suggest. The report, discussed alongside a National Geographic documentary touching on solar energy and wildlife, highlights countries like Egypt as part of the expansion. Commenters on the piece say the finding reinforces calls for greater renewable energy investment in Africa.
Why now: New reporting suggesting official statistics have badly undersold Africa's solar growth is drawing attention in clean energy circles.
