The West Africa solar PV panels market size is estimated to reach USD 844.27 million by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 31.9% from 2025 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing concerns over energy conservation and transition from non-renewable sources of energy to renewable sources are projected to surge the demand for solar energy and panels over the estimated period.
The captured solar radiations are further converted into power, which is used in applications such as commercial, industrial, and residential. Increasing usage of solar power as a potential source of commercial energy generation has gained acceptance owing to the reducing PV panel cost, which is excepted to further enhance the growth of the industry.
Countries prone to natural calamities such as tropical cyclones and floods can be targeted by the installers. At times of natural calamities, many times utilities are unable to supply electricity owing to the damage to the electricity distribution system. In this scenario, solar PV systems can act as a feasible solution for residential customers to guarantee an uninterruptible power supply.
Escalating environmental concerns have encouraged regulatory authorities to draft supportive policies and plans for solar photovoltaics across the region. The regulatory authorities emphasize the installation of solar PV in applications such as residential, and commercial buildings.
West Africa receives a high amount of sunlight throughout the year which makes solar PV panels more efficient. Many countries in the region are looking to capitalize on the region's solar power favorable climate and install solar power stations. Countries such as Togo, Mali, Nigeria, and Niger have promoted investment in solar power generation in their countries. These factors are expected to drive market growth in the forecast period.
