In January 2026, the Africa Solar Industry Association (AFSIA) released its 2026 Africa Solar Outlook, cross‑referencing project‑level data with trade statistics. The report revealed that Africa‘s actual cumulative solar PV capacity could be as high as 63.9GW – roughly 2.75 times the commonly cited figure of 23.4GW. Africa became the world’s fastest‑growing solar region in 2025, with a 17% compound annual growth rate, far exceeding the global average of 2%. Africa holds over 60% of the world‘s best solar resources but accounts for less than 2% of global capacity – the gap speaks for itself.
At the same time, the Global Solar Council‘s report shows Africa added approximately 4.5GW of solar capacity in 2025 – a 54% year‑on‑year increase, the highest annual deployment on record. Utility‑scale solar accounted for 56% of reported installations, while the remaining 44% from distributed sources is “clearly underestimated, as it is more difficult to track.” Imported module volumes far exceed what utility projects alone can absorb – meaning that a large number of rooftops and residential systems already installed are not captured in official statistics. The real share of distributed PV is likely well above 44%.
Among these “hidden installations,” over 85% are in the C&I and residential segments. JinkoSolar’s recent African order book reinforces this trend – 100MW distributed framework agreement, 90MW ground‑mount supply, 89.4MW distribution agreement. Total publicly disclosed Tiger Neo 3.0 orders in Africa have already exceeded 870MW, fully validating the adaptability of N‑type TOPCon technology to African markets. In parallel, Nigeria has eliminated import duties and VAT on solar panels, inverters and batteries, further lowering end‑user costs for Africa‘s largest economy.
Chasun Solar, a JinkoSolar Gold Agent, offers a one‑stop factory‑direct solution for the African market：
