  abstract = {{T}he development of renewable electricity in {A}frica could be massive in coming decades, as a response to the rapid rising electricity demand while complying with the {P}aris {A}greements. {T}his study shows that in the high-resolution climate experiments of {CORDEX}-{AFRICA}, the annual mean solar potential is expected to decrease on average by 4% over most of the continent by the end of the century, reaching up to 6% over the {H}orn of {A}frica, as a direct result of decrease in solar radiation and increase in air surface temperature. {T}hese projections are associated with large uncertainties, in particular over the {S}ahel and the elevated terrains of eastern {A}frica. {W}hile the expected decrease may affect the sizing of the numerous solar projects planned in {A}frica for the next decades, this study suggests that it does not endanger their viability. {A}t last, this study indicates that the design of such projects also needs to account for the non-negligible uncertainties associated with the resource.},
