4 FAQs about North Africa solar panel production equipment prices

Where are solar panels installed in Africa?

Most of the grid-connected residential solar PV systems in Africa are installed either in North African countries or in South Africa. Tunisia and South Africa in particular have established markets, while Morocco has successfully used solar PV to electrify villages. These markets have competitive costs compared to OECD countries.

How much does solar PV cost in Africa?

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.

Can solar PV irrigation systems be used in North Africa?

Solar PV irrigation systems have already been used quite extensively in North Africa, especially in Egypt, and can be implemented in many other regions of the continent. The solar PV solution can easily be scaled to address the area to be irrigated (Schumacher Centre, 2010).
