The interactive maps below has been realised using a combination of IRENA data and AFSIA research.
IRENA data is based on 2019 figures while AFSIA conducts continuous updates of its data bases.
Please note that this figures only represent large-scale, mini-grids and C&I (Commercial & Industrial) installations but do not include capacities related to SHS (Solar Home Systems) nor individual residential installations.
Move your mouse over the map to activate the tooltip. You will be able to see the accurate information for each country.

 

 

 

 

 

PV installed in MWp

This map is showing the total capacity installed in MWp.

 

 

 

PV/Pop (Wp/capita)

This map shows the total capacity installed in Wp compared to the total population of each country and provides a more representative image of the solar PV effort in each country with respect to their population size.

 

 

CSP installed in W

This map is showing the total capacity installed in W.

 

 

CSP/Pop (W/capita)

This map shows the total capacity installed in We compared to the population of each country and provide a more representative image of the solar CSP effort in each country with respect to their population size.

 

 

Access to electricity (% of Pop)

This map shows the access to electricity compared to the population of each country. This level of access ranges from 100% reliable to half-time or occasionally.

 

Evolution of PV installed capacity since 2000

This “rat race” map shows the evolution of the installed PV capacities across the top 30 African countries over the last 20 years. This animation is based on statistics from IRENA.
