An NGO is helping villages to get affordable electricity using solar energy. The sun , a nonperishable source of energy ( at least for billions years to come) on top of being free it's also available for all. Currently, the set up price for a home solar system is between $500-1000 which is way beyond the revenue of an average African. The NGO use fund from various international organizations. The solar energy could definitely be a breakthrough in Africa especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Solar energy can widely spread electricity to remote and rural areas. This would greatly help in the development of technologies , use of computers , access to internet. So we need the government, and company to focus more on solar power to bring the prices down and make it affordable for the average Africa.
