AI-Integrated Solar Energy Systems for Sustainable Energy in Africa

This work aims to answer questions on how artificial intelligence (AI) may be effectively deployed to transform African solar energy technology. Many researchers have made several advancements in this area on other continents, and so this paper appraises their studies with the aim of looking at how these advancements can be adapted to the African space; to this end, the paper discusses the techno-economic viability of AI-fitted solar systems in the African sphere. Furthermore, this work clearly describes how AI-enabled renewable energy systems can help realize the fulfillment of affordable and clean energy sustainable development goals (SDG) for African countries, the challenges, and the solutions. Lastly, the study encourages budding researchers to participate in this new renewable technology revolution by giving insights into viable research areas that can be explored.
