African countries maintained a brisk pace of solar power installation last year and the sector looks set to keep growing in 2025, according to a new industry report.
The Global Solar Council estimated that the continent added 2,400 megawatts of solar generation capacity in 2024, slightly less than the year before, which it blamed on the slackening rate of installations in South Africa after a bumper year in 2023.
