Local businesses and households have installed over 5 000MW of rooftop solar power according to the Presidency.

The Presidency reports that as much as 10 600MW of generation capacity will be added to the grid by 2025.

In fairness, the government has made progress in addressing the energy crisis, but even with loadshedding currently suspended, the spectre of power cuts still looms. The amount of solar power installed by South Africans is enough to reduce loadshedding by around five stages. However, we should note that the majority of this solar power capacity was likely installed by businesses. It should also be noted that most solar installations still require a grid connection.
