HOME / South Africa 146 MW of solar - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTDSouth Africa's cumulative solar capacity surpassed 9.4 GW by mid-2025, according to figures from the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA). The country also has a solar project pipeline in excess of 10 GW. South Africa added approximately 928 MW of solar during the first quarter of this year, according to estimates from SAPVIA.
SAPVIA told pv magazine that as of mid-2025, South Africa's cumulative solar capacity is estimated at 9,457 MW. “There is a healthy pipeline of projects, with solar comprising 10,078 MW of a total 14.9 GW as of July 2025” the association added. “Moreover, there are an additional 11 projects from the REIPPPP that are still under construction.”
The 928 MW figure represents strong growth in South Africa's solar market and suggests that this year, the country is on course to outperform the 1.1 GW of solar added across 2024. South Africa's record for solar deployment in a calendar year is 2.6 GW from 2023.
The allocation represents the largest utility-scale solar commitment made in South Africa this year. The 1,290 MW was made available for solar projects after it was reallocated from unused onshore wind capacity.
