IRENA estimates that with the right enabling policies, Africa could be home to more than 70 gigawatts of solar PV capacity by 2030. The report discusses challenges in policy making and proposes a co-ordinated effort to collect data on the installed costs of solar PV in Africa, across all market segments.
Silicon, a key input for the production of c-Si solar PV cells, is also found in Africa, albeit in smaller quantities compared to global leaders like China. Nonetheless, Africa’s mineral wealth represents a significant opportunity for the continent to leverage its natural resources to become a player in the global solar PV market.
African governments should prioritize the deployment of solar PV technologies to meet their domestic energy needs. This will not only improve energy security but also create local demand for solar PV products, helping to stimulate the growth of a domestic solar PV manufacturing industry.
Africa’s natural resource endowments present a unique opportunity for the continent to enter the global solar PV value chain. Key minerals required for solar PV production—such as copper, tin, and silicon—are found in significant quantities in several African countries.
