6 FAQs about [New policy for solar photovoltaic in the south]

How will solar photovoltaic installations affect South Africa's supply chain?

The prospect of rapid growth in solar photovoltaic (PV) installations across South Africa will create opportunities for the localisation of supply chains and for domestic manufacturing, a new study commissioned by the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) has confirmed.

Does South Africa need a solar photovoltaic system?

South Africa is making efforts to increase the use of solar photovoltaic energy. But it’s happening at a very slow pace. Solar photovoltaic contributes less than 5% to the country’s energy mix, despite the sunny climate, which is very favourable for solar photovoltaic energy generation.

Is solar PV growth dependent on regulatory policies?

In spite of solar irradiation advantage and plummeting solar system cost, it was understood that solar PV growth is greatly dependent on regulatory policies and mechanisms. The tremendous growth in solar PV is observed in Vietnam through the successful implementation of the Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) scheme.

Are solar PV policies underutilized in South East Asian countries?

Should South Africa adopt solar power?

South Africa urgently needs to change this. It is highly dependent on coal fired power stations – about 85% of power is derived from fossil fuels. In addition, for the last decade it has faced increasingly severe power cuts. The rapid adoption of solar power could alleviate the pressure. The government has taken steps to improve the situation.

How much solar PV is installed in South Africa?

The new publication, written by Urban-Econ, Nikela and Blue Horizon, estimates that South Africa made up about 56% of the 10.3 GW of solar PV installed across African utility-scale plants; commercial, industrial, agriculture and mining (C&IAM) sites and households by the end of 2021.
