Do you think this approach could work for South Africa? "Under this scheme, large developers – often state-owned entities – are tasked with managing the programme in their particular city or region, working with networks of smaller local players whose job is to identify suitable rooftops and secure project development rights."

Absolutely, although not if it's run by inefficient SOEs
