The Botswana Roof Top Solar (RTS) Scheme provides residential and commercial clients with the ability to install grid-tied and hybrid solar systems and feed power back into the grid. The surplus energy that is fed back into the grid, BPC will off-set with your energy bill.
There are presently three large grid-connected systems in Botswana: a single large-scale 1300 kW solar farm in Phakalane to the north of Gaborone; a recently constructed, but not yet operational, 20 kW EU-funded University of Botswana research system installed in Mokolodi village, just south of Gaborone; and a 34 kW system, owned by Scales
The focus of this study is to design and simulate a grid tied solar PV system for a higher institution of learning using University of Botswana, Faculty of Engineering and Technology
To set up a grid tie solar system, you first need to mount the solar panels on your rooftop or eligible space and then connect them to a grid tie inverter. This inverter is then hooked to your home''s electrical panel, which is also linked to the power grid.

How to Set Up a Grid Tie Solar System: A Comprehensive Step-by-Step Guide - Solar Panel Installation, Mounting, Settings, and Repair. To set up a grid tie solar system, you first need to mount the solar panels on your rooftop or eligible space and then connect them to a grid tie inverter.
Botswana does have an impressive solar resource, but its exploitation requires a great number of tradeoffs. As a result, there are a limited number of larger-scale solar systems in the country. In this post, I focus on the grid-connected operations.
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.
It’s vital to have a high-quality grid-tie inverter that effectively converts the DC power from the panels into AC power. Not all panels are created equal. To maximize your grid-tied solar system, select panels from reputable manufacturers with good efficiency ratings. Finally, we’ll discuss the two main connection types of a grid-tie solar system.
Although the amount of sunlight in Botswana is high relative to other parts of the world, the irradiation levels are only close to one peak sun at around noontime. A solar panel will therefore only produce its rated output for a short while around midday; the rest of the time, the irradiation is lower and the output is commensurately lower.
We are deeply committed to excellence in all our endeavors.
Since we maintain control over our products, our customers can be assured of nothing but the best quality at all times.
