Africa is often considered and referred as the "Sun continent" or the continent where the Sun's influence is the greatest.[2] According to the "World Sunshine Map", Africa receives many more hours of bright sunshine during the course of the year than any other continent of the Earth:[3] and many of the sunniest countries on the planet are in Africa.[4]
Despite its immense solar power potential, Africa continues to lag behind other continents when it comes to building up grid and off-grid solar capacity, in part due to a lack of investment.[5][6]
