Nigeria is pioneering the development of small, off-grid solar panel installations to bring reliable electricity to remote communities — setting a model for other African countries
All good points you are making here. One thing I would slightly disagree with is the fact that in Africa they are not offsetting emissions. A lot of the small African communities still consume energy. Mostly, it comes from running diesel or gas-powered generators, which are super inefficient and polluting.
Also, these projects can grow much larger and actually create a surplus of energy, which can then be sold to other parts of Africa and beyond, generating economic and environmental benefits.
