of solar power across Africa. In 2025, Southern Africa led the market, accounting for 46% of total installations across the continent-nearly half of the overall capacity added. This strong performance is driven primarily by South Africa, which represents more than half of the region's new capacity, and is further supported by growing deployment in Botswana, North Africa, with a 29% share of total installations, continues to scale up its solar capacity. The or reached commissioning, with Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia leading deployment in 2025. regional leader in 2025, accounting for nearly 80% of installations in the region. Nevertheless, Ghana, Senegal, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon also contributed to the region's overall growth. solar mega-projects that are now breaking ground or reaching the commissioning stage. These Southern Africa led the market, accounting In contrast, East Africa is experiencing a slowdown in new installations, largely because electrification and commercial and industrial (C&l) systems-rather than utility-scale projects. Nevertheless, signs of renewed momentum are emerging at the utility level. Several projects across the region are expected to move forward in the coming year. For example, in May 2025, Kenya launched a solar-plus-storage tender for two 40 Mw projects in Kajiado and Makueni, which could help reinvigorate large-scale solar development across the region.
