非洲太阳能电池板从中国的进口每年猛增60%,但薄弱的电网和低质量的电池板阻碍了可持续的能源进步。 Africa’s solar panel imports from China surged 60% in a year, but weak grids and low-quality panels hinder sustainable energy progress.

2024年7月至2025年6月,非洲从中国进口了15千兆瓦太阳能电池板,由于南非、尼日利亚和阿尔及利亚对小型家庭规模系统的需求,其进口量比上一年增加60%。 Africa imported 15 gigawatts of solar panels from China from July 2024 to June 2025—60% more than the prior year—driven by demand for small, household-scale systems in South Africa, Nigeria, and Algeria. 尽管这一激增,非洲大陆每年仅增加1-2千兆瓦的新的太阳能发电厂容量,大多数进口电池板质量低、寿命短,导致废物和环境风险。 Despite this surge, the continent adds only 1–2 GW of new solar power plant capacity annually, and most imported panels are low-quality, short-lived, leading to waste and environmental risks. 分散能源使用,包括柴油发电机和生物量,仍然很普遍,官方数据少计,并不足以促进工业增长。 Decentralized energy use, including diesel generators and biomass, remains widespread, undercounted in official data, and insufficient for industrial growth. 随着非洲人口和经济年增长率为5-6%,电网基础设施薄弱和缺乏协调投资威胁到长期能源安全和可持续性。 With Africa’s population and economy growing at 5–6% yearly, weak grid infrastructure and lack of coordinated investment threaten long-term energy security and sustainability.
