Morocco Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market Trends
Morocco Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Market Forecasting
Morocco’s renewable energy sector continues to make strong progress, with solar energy playing a central role in its energy transition. As of 2024, the country has reached xxx MW of installed solar capacity. Under its national energy strategy, Morocco targets x GW of solar PV by 2030, contributing to the broader goal of achieving 52% renewable energy in its total installed capacity. This reflects Morocco’s long-term vision of reducing fossil fuel dependence and leveraging its abundant solar resources.
Morocco has made significant strides in rural electrification through solar home systems, bringing clean energy access to remote communities. Supported by international partnerships, these initiatives have improved the quality of life for thousands while demonstrating Morocco’s commitment to inclusive energy development. Beyond domestic use, Morocco is positioning itself as a key solar energy exporter, with projects like the Xlinks Morocco-UK Power Project highlighting its ambition to supply renewable electricity to Europe and beyond.
While Morocco has made notable progress in solar energy, several structural and regulatory enhancements are key to sustaining its momentum. Unlocking the full potential of private investment will require clearer legal frameworks, expanded support for corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs), and greater facilitation of self-generation. To ensure reliable solar integration, ongoing efforts in modernizing the national grid—particularly north-south connections—alongside investments in energy storage and digital infrastructure are essential. Streamlining permitting processes and expanding financial incentives such as VAT exemptions and green financing can further accelerate project development. Finally, as Morocco positions itself as a regional energy hub, advancing export infrastructure and regulatory alignment will be crucial to realizing its cross-border ambitions.
