As noted by AFSIA Solar, one of the most notable solar-plus-storage developments in Africa is Norway-based independent power producer (IPP) Scatec’s 225MW/1,140MWh Kenhardt project in South Africa. The site started operation in late 2023 (pictured above).
As such, the costs associated with batteries have decreased, making them much more accessible. Indeed, since 2022, the cost of battery packs and cells has decreased year-on-year, with 2023 registering a 13% decrease and 2024 trumping this with a 20% reduction.
Solar PV, which, as reported by our colleagues at PV Tech in their write-up of the AFSIA report, reached 19.2GW in 2024, increasing by 2.5GW on 2023 levels, is becoming the focal energy generation resource for Africa.
Our standardized photovoltaic container and energy storage products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
