A Bright Future Ahead: Launch of the Africa Market Outlook for Solar PV

Wednesday, March 12, 2025, 11:15 am - 12:00 pm

The Global Solar Council (GSC) is proud to launch the first edition of the Africa Market Outlook for Solar PV at Intersolar Africa, in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Institute and with the support of GET.invest. This new report provides a comprehensive analysis of the continent's solar energy landscape to light the way forward on the path to realising Africa's solar massive potential. In the report, we look at current and forecasted solar PV installed capacity, highlighting key opportunities and challenges across Africa's diverse markets for the expansion of solar PV - from rooftop solar to utility-scale projects. With in-depth insights on 10 key African countries, the report provides a deep dive into national solar deployment trends, policy environments, and investment landscapes. It also explores emerging sectors such as solar-plus-green hydrogen and e-mobility, illustrating how these technologies can accelerate Africa's clean energy transition. This high-level launch event will bring together government representatives, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers to discuss the report's findings and chart a course for unlocking Africa's immense solar potential. Participants will engage in dynamic discussions on policy recommendations, financing strategies, and the role of solar in achieving a just and inclusive energy transition. As Africa stands at a pivotal moment in its clean energy journey, this event will serve as a catalyst for action, fostering collaboration between stakeholders to scale up solar adoption, drive innovation, and create sustainable economic opportunities. Join us to be part of shaping Africa's solar-powered future!
