In an interview with pv magazine, Africa Solar Industry Association Director of Operations, Benjamin Clarke, shared the latest on new installations, project economics and data collection from across Africa’s solar market.
Africa’s solar market is diversifying, with more national-level markets making significant strides in the deployment of larger-scale solar projects.
Benjamin Clarke, Director of Operations at the Africa Solar Industry Association (AFSIA) told pv magazine a number of countries, namely Tanzania, Zambia and Algeria, have made significant progress this year, with utility-scale projects arriving quickly.
“What we are seeing more and more is a diversification of the market, which is a very, very, good sign,” Clarke said during the Smarter E event in Munich, Germany. “As we can’t just rely on the traditionally largest markets to lead the statistics for the rest of the continent.”
