Press Release

South Africa Rooftop Solar Market is Expected to be Dominated by the Crystalline Silicon Segment

The declining cost of solar PV systems are the factors driving the market growth in the forecast period.

According to TechSci Research report, “South Africa Rooftop Solar Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2028”, the South Africa rooftop solar market is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR. The market is anticipated to grow because of increasing usage renewable energy for the creation of electricity and the abundance of solar energy available during the day. End-user consumers can protect their investment in rooftop solar PV systems from fluctuating electricity costs. Due to the cost of the electricity produced by this photovoltaics can be easily quantified, end-use sectors can estimate their electricity generation costs for another 10 years. Over the course of the forecast, this tendency will have a favorable impact on the market environment.

Small-scale rooftop solar PV systems are a crucial component of the market under investigation, despite utility-scale solar PV projects in South Africa. Additionally, the rooftop solar PV system provides households without electricity the advantages of contemporary electricity services. As a result, it aids in lowering the cost of electricity in distant areas and islands that rely on oil-fired generating while also enabling homeowners and small companies to produce their own electricity.

South Africa rooftop solar market is divided into technology, grid-type, end-user, and region. Based on technology, the market is divided into thin film and crystalline silicon. Based on grid-type, the market is divided into grid connected and off-grid. Based on end use, the market is divided into residential, commercial, and industrial. Based on region, the market is divided into Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, Northwest, Free State, and Northern Cape.

Based on Technology, the market is divided into Crystalline Silicon PV and Thin Film PV. With the largest market share and projected significant growth over the foreseeable period, the crystalline silicon PV industry now dominates the market. Crystalline panels are the most common type of solar panel used in residential and commercial applications due to their higher efficiency and reliability.

Based on end use, the commercial and industrial segment are expected to dominate the market. More than half of South Africa's rooftop solar installations are in the commercial and industrial sectors. The development of innovative technology and supportive policies are essential for the expansion of the business and industrial sector. Instead of only considering rooftop solar systems with the grid serving as storage (net/gross metering), South African authorities need to plan for rooftop solar systems and storage.

In comparison to the conventional grid supply and diesel generators, the combination produces electricity more affordably. Due to affordability and the demand for technology, the commercial and industrial sector in South Africa is anticipated to experience considerable market expansion over the forecast period. Due to being one of the largest energy consumers, the commercial and industrial sector typically pays higher electricity expenses. The industry has the most advantageous use profiles and stands to gain from the installation of rooftop solar PV systems across substantial roof areas. In South Africa, an increasing number of business properties choose to rent out their space with a permanent roof. Through a long-term rental arrangement, the roofs in this case are made profitable. The commercial property uses the energy produced, and any extra energy is routed back to the grid for further distribution.

Key market players in the South Africa rooftop solar market are:

  • GENERGY
  • Valsa Trading (Pty) Ltd
  • Solareff (Pty) Ltd
  • JA Solar Holdings
  • ROMANO SOLAR
  • Sola Group
  • BrightBlack Energy Pty Ltd
