Namibia has one of the highest solar irradiance levels in the world. With approximately 300 sunny days and over 3,000 sun hours per year, the annual solar irradiation reaches values of 2,200 to 2,400 kWh/m². This means that solar PV systems in Namibia generate twice as much electricity compared to similiar systems in Germany.
HOPSOL Africa is a technology leader for on- and off-grid solar power plants, fuel save controllers as well as solar diesel hybrid systems at utility scale (e.g. mining solutions). We are specialized in building and operating solar power plants in deserts and desert-like regions.
Namibia leverages solar potential to fuel its energy transition, aiming for sustainability and reduced import dependency amidst growing regional demand and technological advancements in renewable resources.

Readily committed to ramping up its renewable energy output, Namibia is on the brink of energy transformation. InnoSun – one of the first movers in the market – is aiming to surpass the country''s goal of achieving a
Namibia''s largest solar power plant project has reached a significant milestone, boosting the country''s clean electricity generation capacity and reducing its dependence on imported power. The development marks a crucial step towards enhancing Namibia ''s energy self-sufficiency.
Readily committed to ramping up its renewable energy output, Namibia is on the brink of energy transformation. InnoSun – one of the first movers in the market – is aiming to surpass the country''s goal of achieving a 70% renewable energy mix by 2030 through the establishment of utility-scale solar PV and wind power plants.
Nonetheless, Namibia has ambitious goals. By 2030, it wants to produce 70% of its energy from renewable energy sources, with independent energy producers feeding renewable energy into its national grid. In northern Namibia, a ten-hectare solar energy farm produces 9,000 MWh of energy per year.
This mega solar project will support Namibia''s efforts to enhance its renewable energy infrastructure and is expected to greatly contribute to the country''s general electricity

Namibia has much larger solar and renewable energy development aspirations, as well. Both Namibia and neighboring Botswana are working with the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Future Council on Energy to develop a huge, five-gigawatt (GW) solar power project over the next two decades.
Namibia is benefiting from the global expansion of the solar market, which is reducing costs and improving the efficiency of solar photovoltaic panels and related equipment. —Nampower General Manager Kahenge Haulofu was quoted in an African news service’s report. Namibia has much larger solar and renewable energy development aspirations, as well.
Nampower just recently acquired the nation’s first utility-scale solar power facility. Located in Mariental in the southern part of the country, Spain’s Alten Energias Renovables and Nampower, with Namibia’s Mangrove, Talyeni and First Place Investment contributed to the development of the 45.5-MW solar power plant.
HopSol spoke with ECP about how Namibia’s solar PV capacity can be expanded and further integrated with the national grid.
Namibia’s solar irradiance levels. Nampower expects to begin construction of its four utility-scale renewable power facilities this year and bring them online in 2022, with the utility financing the projects with internal resources, according to an African news source.
With an average of ten hours of sunshine per day, Namibia is one of the world's sunniest countries. It has enormous potential for solar energy yet, 60% of the country's energy is imported from neighbouring countries and 40% of its population is disconnected from the grid. Nonetheless, Namibia has ambitious goals.
