5 FAQs about [Rwanda pv solar power system]
Is there a market for solar energy in Rwanda?
Only few companies in Rwanda are active in the field of solar energy. They focus mainly on the market for larger systems for public institutions, e.g. hospitals, schools etc through public tenders. In addition they and others are also trying to sell solar home systems but the market for solar lanterns and small home systems is still in its infancy.
Can solar power be used in Rwanda?
Rwanda has chosen to focus on the use of solar power in two main areas: electrifi cation of clinics, schools and administrative offi ces in remote centers and solar water heating. This approach offers significant environmental and recurrent cost savings, substituting biomass and electricity water heating.
Will Rwanda increase the number of solar power plants?
