Solar power in South Africa includes photovoltaics (PV) as well as concentrated solar power (CSP). As of 2023, South Africa had over 2700 MW of installed PV solar power capacity in its grid, in addition to 500 MW of CSP.[1] Installed capacity is expected to reach 8,400 MW by 2030.[2]

In 2014 several solar farms were commissioned, including the 96 MW Jasper Solar Energy Project, providing enough solar power for 30,000 homes.[3]
