A large, growing, and profitable solar market is a prerequisite for Chinese manufacturers to build factories in Africa, as it is the safest way to ensure revenue, given the export uncertainties.
Africa's solar PV manufacturing sector was assessed across seven metrics to determine feasibility, market potential and competitiveness with China (Exhibit 12). Availability of raw materials: This metric evaluated the availability of quarts sand to produce silicon, a key component of solar PV manufacturing. Score weight: 5%
Egypt (6/7). Egypt ranks first on our list for manufacturing GDP, third for its imports from China, and fifth in projected solar energy demand in 2030. It has specific laws for renewable energy and manufacturing and is one of the largest exporters in Africa (excluding oil and gas).
Chinese solar equipment has been flooding African markets, partly as a ripple effect of the US-China trade war. It's one of several factors helping the continent gain traction with electrification. Solar power is widely recognized as an excellent solution for Africa.
