In our society, there exist myths that renewables including solar photvoltaic (PV) is expensive. In this contribution, we compiled current facts, figures and findings about solar PV globally and in South Africa to create an overall assessment of PV growth. Recent facts about PV in South Africa show that solar PV is already cost competitive.
