Description: Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is a key clean energy technology and an important source of clean electricity critical for the global green transition. As the world grapples with climate change, the demand for cleaner and more sustainable energy sources has never been greater. In this context, solar PV technology has emerged as a pivotal component of the global energy shift. This paper explores how Africa, with its abundant natural resources, can leverage its critical minerals, trade capacities, and latent productive capabilities to develop a solar PV manufacturing sector.
