Why is There so Little Solar Energy Generation in Botswana?
Large-scale application of solar in Botswana has been limited to a single project: a 1.3 MW solar farm near Phakalane, just north of Gaborone. This project was built and funded by the Japanese government in 2012 who contributed P84 million of the overall cost of ~P106 million (~USD $10 million). This project has delivered close to its planned

This most likely contributes to the prevailing perception in Botswana that solar PV is expensive. The system contains 5920 panels, each with a 220-W DC rating, which gives 1 300 000 W or 1300 kW overall rating. The panels are wired in strings of 16 panels connected in series to provide a peak voltage of 470 V DC.
