Over just 12 months, China shipped solar panels with an overall capacity of 15 GW to the continent. "Everybody seems to be very bullish about solar in Africa," John van Zuylen, CEO of the Africa Solar Industry Association (AFSIA), a pan-African lobby group, told DW.
Chinese solar equipment has been flooding African markets, partly as a ripple effect of the US-China trade war. It's one of several factors helping the continent gain traction with electrification. Solar power is widely recognized as an excellent solution for Africa.
According to 2024 data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), solar ranks among the cheapest energy sources worldwide, costing just $0.044 (€0.03) per kilowatt-hour (kWh) after prices for solar photovoltaic (PV) modules dropped by 90% in only 13 years. Africa has so far been a small solar power player.
Based on historical export data, AFSIA estimates Africa's total installed solar capacity at around 75 GW since 2000, significantly higher than IRENA's figure. According to van Zuylen, many small-scale and off-grid applications rarely appear in official statistics.
