摘要：

The status of solar photo-voltaic (PV) home system SHS installation for rural electrification and opportunities for cost reductions through local manufacturing in Africa are discussed. The use of solar electricity is playing an important role in increasing interconnections between rural Africans and people, institutions and ideas in national and international urban centers. The technical advances, manufacturing innovations, and economies of scale in production have resulted in decrease in cost of solar systems. The local manufacture of PV systems will make PV a source of economic growth of African nations.
