africa is building a whole lot of solar panels to secure its energy supply. it’s cheaper than fossil fuels, decentralized, doesn’t require much of a grid. and works even when the officials are corrupted.

no, the thing is, in the US sure utility-scale solar farms are what generates the most power, but i have read two articles about how people in africa and in the middle east install their own solar panels on the roof or close to the house to produce their own electricity because the grid is so unreliable. so you see, people make do with what they can get. and if grid is not available, then suddenly rooftop solar becomes a competitive option.
