South Africa has experienced an increase in the installation of solar PV since 1992. The low electricity offered by prior to 2010 has led to a recently rapid installation increase. The shift in installations can be seen across all segments of consumers including industrial, agricultural, commercial and residential. There are predictions that indicate that there would be a continuous decline in the cost of well beyond 2020.

Should solar panels be subsidised in South Africa?
Solar panels should be sold with motion sensors, floodlights and fasteners to prevent theft, and these security features should be subsidised by the government. Only 5% of South Africa’s energy comes from solar power while 85% is generated from coal. Loans, more subsidies and security for rooftop solar panels need to be put in place.
Does South Africa need a solar photovoltaic system?
South Africa is making efforts to increase the use of solar photovoltaic energy. But it’s happening at a very slow pace. Solar photovoltaic contributes less than 5% to the country’s energy mix, despite the sunny climate, which is very favourable for solar photovoltaic energy generation.
Does South Africa have a tax incentive for solar energy?
As of 1 January 2016 the South African government gave a tax incentive through the South African Revenue Service for the installation of photovoltaic solar energy generation systems.
Are solar panels depreciated in South Africa?
Photovoltaic solar systems greater than 1 MW p are depreciated with the schedule 50%, 30%, and 20% in the first 3 years respectively. Despite this aggressive tax incentive, South African companies are slow to adopt grid-connected photovoltaic solar systems due to the lack of public dialogue from the government concerning photovoltaic solar energy.
