Takeaway: Given South Africa's climate and load-shedding patterns, solar systems are the more practical, sustainable option. While generators are more affordable upfront, solar energy systems offer a cleaner, more cost-effective, and sustainable solution in the long run.
The report presents the data that IRENA was able to collect for solar PV costs in Africa. The data for utility-scale projects from the IRENA Renewable Cost Database9 were the starting point for the creation of a wider dataset that encompasses the SHS and mini-grid market segments as well.
This is an important issue, because although the utility-scale grid-connected solar PV market is the largest market in Africa in terms of MW deployed, the of-grid market is the largest in terms of number of systems deployed (IRENA, 2015b). The of-grid market comprises SHS and mini-grid systems.
With the fall in solar PV costs, solar PV mini-grids ofer important economic opportunities today as either the sole source of generation or in hybrid configuration with other generation sources.
Africa has abundant renewable energy resources. Traditionally reliant on hydropower, the continent is turning to solar photovoltaics (PV) to bolster energy security and support rapid economic growth in a sustainable manner.
Despite the small-scale nature of individual transactions and a range of other dificulties, the opportunities for providing clean, sustainable renewable power rapidly to Africa's rural communities via SHS and solar PV mini-grids represents an exciting development opportunity.
