In 2025, Africa imported 18.8 gigawatts (GW) of solar panels, yet official records reflect only a small portion of this figure. This discrepancy highlights the rapid growth of the private commercial and industrial (C&I) solar market, where platform companies are increasingly establishing a strong presence. These companies are strategically consolidating their operations to capitalize on the burgeoning demand for solar energy solutions, positioning themselves ahead of potential investor interest. The C&I sector is emerging as a significant contributor to the continent's renewable energy landscape, indicating a shift towards more decentralized energy generation.
