3 FAQs about Community-use African photovoltaic container long-term type

Is Africa ready to handle end-of-life PV wastes?

End-of-life PV wastes are projected to rise rapidly in Africa with expected rising influx of rooftop solar PV. The level of preparedness of Africa to handle the mounting wastes as per the current status of policy framework and infrastructural development were assessed and found to be inadequate.

Can integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) be used in Africa?

The prospect of dual use of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) in Africa. Implementing appropriate energy policy and financing schemes in African cities. Promoting a sustainable path for cost effective recycling and reuse of end-of-life PV in African cities.

Can rooftop solar PV be scaled up in Africa?

Scaling up application of rooftop solar PV in Africa still faces multi-faceted challenges as detailed earlier in the PESTLE analyses. African cities are not lacking solar resources but suffer from the deficit of technological capacity along with the limited financial and regulatory supports to utilise these.
