				    Abstract. This study examines the photovoltaic (PV) energy output and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) in seven regions of Tanzania across five different tilt adjustments of 1 MW PV systems.
				    Well, here''s the kicker: solar panel prices in the country have fallen by 18% since 2022 according to market surveys. But what''s driving this change, and how can you benefit?
				    Solar Power Tanzania has a solar power installed capacity of just 26 MW when its total installed power capacity is 1,605.86 MW, mostly coming from gas, hydro, and petrol. Tanzania''s sunshine hours per year range
On-grid commissioned and planned utility-scale solar PV projects between 2014 and 2018 in Africa range from around USD 1.2 to USD 4.9/W (USD 1 200 to 4 900/kW). Although Africa is currently home to a very small set of utility-scale solar PV projects, costs have been declining over time.
The systems in West Africa for which IRENA has data are smaller in size, with correspondingly higher costs per watt, although the larger systems are close to the median value of USD 2.9/W (with little diference for the on- and of-grid projects).
The Kenya Renewable Energy Association also pointed out that, “The average solar PV system size for households in Kenya is 25-30Wp. The typical cost of installed systems is about 12 USD/Wp installed” (KEREA, n.d.).
The average residential solar PV system in OECD countries has a capacity of 3 to 5 kW. SHS in Africa can be 60 to 250 times smaller, with a typical capacity of 20 to 100 W. In addition to having higher costs per watt due to their small size, these systems need to incorporate batteries and charge controllers.
The report presents the data that IRENA was able to collect for solar PV costs in Africa. The data for utility-scale projects from the IRENA Renewable Cost Database9 were the starting point for the creation of a wider dataset that encompasses the SHS and mini-grid market segments as well.
Project developers are now targeting sub-USD 2/W cost ranges in East and West Africa. This suggests that with the right regulatory framework and access to finance, competitive cost structures for utility-scale solar PV are achievable throughout Africa.
