The South African Photovoltaic Industry Association predicts that deployment will accelerate as a strong pipeline of private and public utility-scale projects offsets the decline in installations
South Africa added approximately 1.1 GW of solar in 2024, according to figures from the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA).
As more Australian home and business owners recognise the benefits of solar energy, one question stands out: ''How can I maximise the ROI of solar panels and batteries?'' With energy prices projected to climb even higher
The growth in rooftop solar is expected to recover in 2025 – fuelled by rising electricity tariffs, ongoing energy insecurity and an oversupply of solar panels.
Battery installations with rooftop solar In Q1 2025, over 7,200 batteries were installed alongside rooftop solar systems across Australia. New South Wales led with 2,379 installations, followed
South Africa''s solar projects reached significant milestones in 2024 as total solar PV capacity grew to 8.97 GW and increased by 11.9 percent compared to 2023. SAPVIA''s
In May 2024, the upfront cost of installing a solar power system in South Africa would set you back approximately R150,000 to R350,000 for a small project and up to R3.5 million for a 100kW system. The high upfront capital
Solar energy will not only shape South Africa''s energy future but also position the country as a global leader in renewable energy innovation, says industry body SAPVIA.
South Africa is a leader in the development of renewable energy. A wealth of renewable energy resources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP).
Therefore, there is an increase in the exploration and investment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to exploit South Africa''s high solar photovoltaic (PV) energy and help alleviate
A surge in rooftop solar has helped resolve load shedding in South Africa, but this has led to a decline in the demand for residential PV.
Commercial and Industrial (C&I) solar projects continue to grow across Africa, with larger scale projects showing "striking" progress, a new report shows. AFSIA''s Africa Solar Outlook 2025 report says C&I, both for captive
Discover key solar energy trends for 2025 in Australia, including panel efficiency, battery adoption, large-scale solar farms, and rooftop solar growth.
South Africa''s persistent energy shortages and high utility costs have led to increased interest in rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. However, understanding their

This is according to a newly released report – written by the Global Solar Council in conjunction with RMI and GET vest – the Africa Market Solar Outlook for Solar PV 2025-2028. The report showcases 2024 market
The growing government support and falling cost of rooftop solar panels purchase, installation, and maintenance are expected to support the uptake of solar PV and associated systems in South Africa, driving the solar
Frank Spencer, the spokesperson for Sapvia, said the association sees the solar PV industry in South Africa as the most important component of future electricity supply. "Solar PV is already being deployed at
The growing government support and falling cost of rooftop solar panels purchase, installation, and maintenance are expected to support the uptake of solar PV and associated systems in South Africa, driving the solar rooftop PV market's growth in the country during the forecast period.
In 2017, about 387 MW of solar PV installed in South Africa was rooftop systems . In 2021, about 1500 MW of solar PV installation capacity was for solar rooftop systems . This will offer an opportunity to use this review to inform how buildings within these sectors can be used to forecast rooftop solar PV uptake.
The growth in rooftop solar is expected to recover in 2025 – fuelled by rising electricity tariffs, ongoing energy insecurity and an oversupply of solar panels. The affordability of solar energy will also play a significant role in its adoption. Industry associations have reported that demand for rooftop solar dropped sharply in 2024.
The South African rooftop solar market is moderately consolidated in nature. Some of the key players in the market (in no particular order) include GENERGY, Valsa Trading (Pty) Ltd, JA Solar Holdings, Solareff (Pty) Ltd, and BrightBlack Energy, among others.

This work used market research validation to validate solar PV rooftop uptake rates derived from this work. The current trend uptake scenario used the uptake rates that have been experienced in South Africa. The only limiting factor became roof suitability factors.
At current trend uptake, the solar PV to be adopted on rooftops will meet a mere 4% of the electricity demand by 2050, as demonstrated in Table 7. With the Increased solar PV scenario and under the 60% rooftop suitability level, 13% of electricity demand within commercial buildings will be met by solar PV on rooftops.
