Africa’s solar industry is steadily rising, with cumulative PV installations reaching 19.2GW in 2024, an impressive 2.5GW increase from the previous year. Countries like South Africa and Egypt spearheaded this growth, contributing 1.2GW and 707MW of new capacity, respectively. However, Africa’s share of global PV installations remains low at just 0.5%, highlighting significant untapped potential.
The 2024 Africa Solar Outlook report also revealed a booming energy storage market, with capacity surging over tenfold from 150MWh in 2023 to 1,641MWh in 2024. Furthermore, the pipeline for solar projects expanded to 40GW, reflecting a growing appetite for renewable energy solutions across the continent.
