The fuel consumption increased by six times and ten times for the 51% and 90% load connections, respectively. However, it has minimal effect on the LCoE when PV and storage are introduced into the system. Thus, PV and storage can be upscaled with minimal effects on the consumer''s energy cost, although the investment increases.
Abstract. Bearing in mind that there is increasingly abundant literature on the evolution of photovoltaic solar energy in Africa, it is necessary to make a global assessment with a focus on the path already traveled. This article reviews the literature on solar energy within the context of the African continent between 1992 and 2016.
