South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA)

The South African Photovoltaic Industry Association (SAPVIA) is a not-for-profit industry association that was formed to promote, develop, and grow the solar Photovoltaic ("PV") sector as part of the wider renewable energy industry in South Africa.

We achieve the mission by proactively working with government and other industry stakeholders to ensure that our members are best placed to capitalise on opportunities in the solar PV sector and benefit from a sustainable PV and wider renewable energy market.
