Contribution of Solar Energy for Sustainable Urban Development in Rwanda

In this century development, some African countries are now still facing a challenge of lack of electricity, because hydropower and thermal fuel are still on a small scale. This problem results in less economic productivity decline of some countries like Rwanda which is among African countries that are at a very high speed in development, and the grid lines are few compared to the need for electricity, especially in rural areas whereby each household needs power usage instead of using local and traditional means of ironing and lighting at home. This issue can be solved using Renewable Energy for rural electrification such as Photovoltaic systems. Therefore, this paper reviews Solar Energy for Sustainable Urban Development in Rural Area (Rwanda). Under this work, case study result will focus on one village in Rwanda named as
