Abstract

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.

The Africa Market Outlook for Solar PV 2025-2028 provides an in-depth analysis of the region’s solar growth, investment landscape, and policy frameworks. The report examines key markets, highlights emerging opportunities, and outlines the financial and regulatory measures necessary to scale up deployment.

With contributions from industry experts and stakeholders, the report explores the challenges of financing solar projects, grid integration, and the role of both utility-scale and off-grid solutions in driving energy access. It also presents market forecasts, investment trends, and policy recommendations to support Africa’s transition to a clean energy future.

Published in partnership with RMI and supported by GET.invest, this report serves as a key reference for policymakers, investors, and industry professionals seeking insights into Africa’s evolving solar sector.
