The « Observatoire Europe-Afrique 2030 » has identified thirteen manufacturers of photovoltaic cells and panels, and six manufacturers of solar-powered equipment on the African continent. Among the identified manufacturers of solar cells and panels, half of them perform cutting, molding, and welding operations, as well as final assembly. Four of them limit themselves to end-of-line assembly operations. The attractiveness of this sector for foreign investors seems quite low: To date, no European or American manufacturer has entered this niche, with the only two subsidiaries of foreign groups identified being Chinese. In light of recent developments, however, the situation could take a more positive turn in Morocco and Egypt. For European companies, investment opportunities may arise in the form of participation in joint-ventures. These two countries have set ambitious targets and are encouraging private-sector participation, particularly through tenders and public-private partnerships.
