Africa holds vast solar potential, with 60% of the world''s best solar resources, yet solar PV currently accounts for only 3% of the continent’s electricity generation. As global efforts intensify to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030, Africa’s role in achieving this target is more critical than ever.
Capital costs for solar are 3 to 7 times higher in Africa than in developed countries, and the continent only receives 3% of global energy investment - fare from the $200 billion per year needed to achieve energy access and climate goals.
However, sub-Saharan African countries excluding South Africa only have an accumulated capacity of 74 MWp rooftop solar PV as of 2019 . Initiatives such as the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) has developed a coalition of nine sub-Saharan countries to increase their renewable energy contributions and reduce their emissions .
2.4 GW of new solar capacity was installed in Africa in 2024. South Africa and Egypt continue to be leading the pack, but new emerging markets are stepping up. While this is a slight decrease from 2023, the shift reflects a broader regional market transformation.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
