Where are the large scale solar
projects in Africa?
September 2016
An initiative of
Key facts on Africa’s Solar Energy
• Solar energy reserves in Africa estimated at
almost 40% of the globe.
• 85% of the continent's landscape received
2,000 kWh/m²/ year.
PS: Average annual Insolation is 900 kWh/m² for UK
• 3 deserts in Africa: Kalahari, Namib, Sahara
(Largest in the World).

Overall Picture
• 1,877 MW of Solar PV already installed.
• 4,122 MW of solar PV scheduled.
• South Africa undisputed champion (thanks to its renewable
energy programme (REIPPP).
• 52% of future projects in sub-Sahara Africa (excl. South Africa).
