The Eastern Africa region has been hailed as a prime location for solar energy development and support the region’s transition to a low-carbon growth path as it experiences very high levels of solar irradiation throughout the whole year. Some areas of East Africa have irradiation concentrations reaching over 2,400 kilowatt-hours per square metre and are among the highest levels in the world. The solar power potential of the East African Community (EAC) is estimated at 73.1 trillion kilowatt hours per year using PV technologies. Investment activity is already evident in the East African region, Global investment in off-grid solar reportedly reached a record USD 276 Million out of which approximately half was raised by companies entering into or expanding their activities in, the EAC region. The countries show great potential, but still have a long way to go in terms of solar energy development. The IEA predicts that, by 2040, renewables will potentially provide more than 40% of all power generation capacity in the region.
In this event, it will be discuss Eastern Africa's solar rooftop mission, key challenges, and opportunities in pv rooftop segment, technology advancements, and investors perspective in commercial, industrial, and residential space.
