1
Chinese-made solar panels are powering Africa's renewable energy boom.
2
Exports to the continent have continued to surge this year, with South Africa among the biggest buyers.
3
And this comes also as the West warns of a China shock 2.0.
4
CNA senior correspondent and senior China editor Olivia Xiang reports from Johannesburg.
5
For businessmen Kit and Naidu, South Africa's years of rolling blackouts are still hard to forget.
6
I think it affected my daily life quite bad because we use the Wi-Fi all the time and I'm a businessman, so I need to be connected all the time.
7
We obviously got frustrated to a certain point where, no, I'm not going to do this anymore.
8
I'm going to go out and get the solar panels.
9
He wasn't alone.
10
As load shedding worsened, households and businesses across South Africa turned to rooftop solar to keep the lights on.
11
We actually purchased it from the China mall.
12
They gave us a very good price.
13
I think it was about 30%, if not more, cheaper than the larger stores.
14
So we learned how to install it, and we installed it ourselves.
15
When it started coming to South Africa in the markets, people said, oh, no, this is cheap, this is cheap, you can't trust it.
16
So I think even the cars that's coming into the market, people are a little bit skeptical,
17
but those that's not skeptical is enjoying great value for a lesser price.
18
Affordable Chinese-made solar systems helped fuel South Africa's solar boom.
19
Now we've been driving around this industrial area that's just right next to the Johannesburg CBD
20
and already on this short stretch of road we've passed by maybe four, five or even more China malls.
21
These have really sprung up over the years, so much so that locals call this area now the new Chinatown.
22
Today, South Africa has gone more than a year without load shedding.
23
The various reforms adopted, the ESCOM turnaround has massively, massively helped with improving the power situation.
24
However, just the pure competitiveness of Chinese solar panel manufacturers has essentially really helped ease the cost.
25
South Africa's experience is increasingly being repeated across Africa.
26
The shift also reflects changes inside China.
27
As its economy moves beyond infrastructure-led growth, Beijing has placed greater emphasis on high-tech industries.
28
DR. What you see increasingly is areas such as green technology, solar, for example, where I think,
29
especially now, as we're in the middle of the Middle East tension and the energy shock that we have had,
30
where a lot of countries in Africa are really looking toward China for solar,
31
for electricity, that then can stimulate local production.
32
The numbers suggest that's already happening.
33
Chinese exports of solar cells and panels to Africa rose more than 80% in April from a year earlier.
34
South Africa remained the continent's biggest buyer, but demand is rising rapidly elsewhere too.
35
For distributor Yixin Zhou, that growing interest is easy to see, as Chinese manufacturers look beyond slowing demand at home.
36
So it's a strategy for all of these factories to look overseas.
37
And also Europe is very exaggerated.
38
There are a lot of brands in Europe as well.
39
There are a lot of brands in Asia.
40
So I've seen the change for them to start looking at African markets.
41
It's still not there yet, but more and more brands start to look at African markets
42
because it's more difficult for them to do business within China and also globally in any other countries.
43
Researchers say 20 African countries imported record volumes of Chinese solar panels in the year to June 2025.
44
suggesting South Africa's solar boom may be only the start of a much broader shift across Africa.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
