As I remember from the times we did solar installs in Tanzania, 8-10% is about right for PV in real life. It's the 20+% figures look like creative accounting.

It varies a lot by geography. 10% is right for Germany and the Netherlands. Tanzania is pretty cloudy, isn't it? Almost half rain forest and moist forest? Though I'd've expected you'd put the solar farms on the savannah.

No, it was savannah in the middle of nowhere and mostly dry and sunny.
