In 2022, South Africa's shift to solar power was marked by a 24% increase in small-scale solar generating capacity. This growth is evidenced by the import of solar PV panels worth 2.2 billion rand, adding over 500 megawatts of capacity in just the first five months. Predominantly, wealthier individuals have adopted this trend. [25]
