Solar energy use in rural Africa

Solar energy use in rural Africa is when people in rural areas in Africa use the sun's natural energy to power things like lights, phones, and small appliances. They do this by using solar panels, which are special panels, often on the roofs of homes, that convert the sun's energy into electricity. The electricity produced by the solar panels is then used to power whatever the people in the home need. In this way, instead of having to rely on expensive fuel sources like gasoline or diesel, they can use the energy of the sun to use electricity instead.
