The cost of a 5kW solar system, including installation, is typically around $15,000. This price has decreased to about $3 per watt, making solar installations more affordable. With the 30% federal tax credit, the total investment drops to $10,500, and other state, local, or utility incentives may further reduce the cost.
For off-grid targets to be achieved, the Government of Rwanda through the support of Climate Investment Fund (CIF) has secured USD $ 49 million with the objective of providing electricity through off grid solutions such as
Households far away from the planned national grid coverage are encouraged to use standalone solar photovoltaic (PVs) to reduce the cost of access to electricity. By May 2021, Rwanda''s generation capacity installed is currently 238.052MW. 1,752,345 households have been connected to electricity where 1,278,601 households are on grid and
Solar home systems The Rural Electrification Strategy in Rwanda approved in June 2016 outlines strategies through which Rwanda''s households could "have access to electricity through the most cost effective means by developing programmes that will facilitate both the end users to access less costly technologies and increase private sector
A Solar Home System (SHS) is a small-scale, autonomous electricity supply for households that are off-grid or have unreliable access to energy. It generates electricity from sunshine and stores the electricity in a battery for consumption
To accelerate the adoption of solar energy, Rwanda has implemented favorable policies and regulatory frameworks. These measures include feed-in tariffs, tax incentives, and simplified approval processes for solar projects.

With a potential of 4.5 kWh per m2 per day and approximately 5 peak sun hours, solar energy has a huge potentiality in Rwanda. Currently, Rwanda''s total on-grid installed solar energy is 12.050 MW originating from 3 solar power plants namely Jali power plant generating 0.25MW, Rwamagana Gigawatt generating 8.5 MW, and the Nasho Solar plant
3.1. Brief Information about Solar Energy in Rwanda. Rwanda''s solar insolation is 5 kWh/m 2 /day and daily 5 peak sun hours. Such radiations and other climatic weather conditions in Rwanda prove that solar energy would significantly contribute to national electricity generation once well exploited.
A Solar Home System (SHS) is a small-scale, autonomous electricity supply for households that are off-grid or have unreliable access to energy. It generates electricity from sunshine and stores the electricity in a battery for consumption during the night or cloudy days.
Rwanda has 12.08 MW of total on-grid installed solar energy. Households far away from the planned national grid coverage are encouraged to use Solar Photovoltaic (PVs) to reduce the cost of access to electricity.
By May 2021, Rwanda’s generation capacity installed is currently 238.052MW. 1,752,345 households have been connected to electricity where 1,278,601 households are on grid and 473,744 households connected to Off-grid mainly solar. Solar energy is a promising solution to meet the demand for rural households’ electricity services in remote locations.
Energy Private Developers (EPD) has currently registered over 40 solar companies who have invested in Solar Home System (SHS) business. SHS kits Capacities available on Rwandan market are those of 12W, 20W, 40W, 50 W, 100W, 120W, 200W and 300W with average price per a kit of 67,678 Rwf.
The Government of Rwanda intends to increase the number of solar power plants to reduce the cost of production and take advantage of available renewable sources in Rwanda. Get Latest REG News Delivered Daily!
A 5kW solar system has the capability to significantly offset the energy requirements of your home, with potential coverage ranging from 40% to 80%. The effectiveness of energy production is influenced by various elements such as geographic location and climatic conditions.
The cost of a 5kW solar system, including installation, is typically around $15,000. This price has decreased to about $3 per watt, making solar installations more affordable. With the 30% federal tax credit, the total investment drops to $10,500, and other state, local, or utility incentives may further reduce the cost.
