What factors favour the development of solar energy in Botswana?

POTENTIAL FOR SOLAR ENERGY IN BOTSWANA The factors which favour the development of solar energy in Botswana include: (i) excellent solar con- ditions. Botswana averages over 3300 hrs of sunshine per year. (ii) Relatively high cost of electricity and other fuels particularly for water heating.

Does Botswana have solar energy?

Botswana has abundant solar energy resources, receiving over 3,200 hours of sunshine per year with an average insulation on a horizontal surface of 21MJ/m2, one of the highest rates of insulation in the world. It is essential to take advantage of the abundance of this resource.

Should Botswana invest in renewables?

“While Botswana is endowed with 66% of Africa’s coal resources and has ambitious plans to exploit them for both domestic and export use, there are compelling reasons to be thinking strategically about bringing in renewables, both on-grid and as part of the country’s off-grid program,” Kapika said.
