Morocco is ploughing ahead with a programme to boost wind energy production, particularly in the southern Tarfaya region, where Africa's largest wind farm is set to open in 2014.

Solar power holds the promise of clean, limitless energy, but it currently suffers from high costs and an inherent disadvantage of not working when the sun isn't shining.

There are already a wide variety of renewable energy systems that harness the power of the wind, along with some that generate power via the flow of ocean currents.

Can solar power help eradicate extreme poverty in the developing world?
