Market Reports Online

This report assesses those opportunities from both a Solar Market and a Business Environment perspective, providing a comparative framework for analyzing the potential and relative attractiveness of national-level solar markets in Africa.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 15, 2013

In 2012, total installed solar power capacity across Africa reached 73 megawatts from 3 countries, representing 0.05% of all power capacity (conventional + renewable) and 0.25% of total renewable power capacity in Africa. The largest solar market was South Africa with 70 megawatts or 95.89% of total regional solar capacity.

Beyond this current installed capacity, there exist many opportunities for solar power developments across the region. This report assesses those opportunities from both a Solar Market and a Business Environment perspective, providing a comparative framework for analyzing the potential and relative attractiveness of national-level solar markets in Africa and for assessing macro conditions, access to market, national energy policy, growth potential of renewable energy and infrastructure considerations.
