Renewable Energy, Education and Applications Panacea for Development and Growth in the Sub Saharan, Africa
Abstract
With the trend towards 100% transition to renewable energy, the sub-Saharan sub-region of Africa continent must stand on a tripod of renewable energy, education and applications. The authors view point is that the slow-pace of renewable energy’s penetration and deployment in this sub-region is due primarily to lack of proper and coordinated teaching in specific subjects as far as renewable energy and its allied technologies are concerned. In this work, some selected authors own projects are being considered as an enabler to formulate a working educational framework to identify all necessary huddles hindering the transition to clean sources of energy in a mature and sustainable manner while the constructed equipment remain a practical model to teach and train both students and the end-users.
