Energy Opportunities in 2025 – Why Now’s a Good Time to Act
South Africa’s commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors are seeing strong growth in solar and battery storage – and the opportunities are worth noting.
The latest GreenCape Energy Services Investment Opportunities 2025 report shows there’s already around 3.2 GW of behind-the-metre (BTM) battery capacity installed, with another 2 GW expected by 2030. While uses like demand response, peak shaving and tariff arbitrage are still developing, they’re expected to become more common over the next few years.
Embedded solar PV is also expanding quickly. Between 2023 and 2024, the market grew by 25%, adding over 2 GW of capacity – the biggest annual increase so far. By 2030, this could reach 3.8 GW, with an estimated investment value of R53.2 billion.
And it’s not just about load shedding anymore. Businesses are choosing solar and batteries for cost savings, price stability, better energy security, and to cut carbon emissions.
At Eversolar, we work with commercial, industrial and agricultural clients to design and install solar and battery systems that deliver reliable results and good returns. We also help manage projects and make sure systems are integrated smoothly with the grid.
If you’re thinking about future-proofing your energy supply, now is a good time to start the conversation.
