How Solar Energy is Changing Lives In Rural Rwanda

About Rwanda in solar panels

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 .

In BBOXX’s case, solar energy gathered from a panel on the roof is stored overnight, while remote connectivity over 2G cell networks allows for geolocation and performance data to be sent.

Rwanda has several off grid solar companies, such as Arc Power Ltd., Bboxx, MySol and SoEnergy which sell electricity to the population via either a small distribution line or an isolated single-family dropout package composed of a PV module, control unit and customised loads.

Rwanda Energy Group latest figures announced in August 2022 shows that, to date, the country has registered a commendable progress in terms of electrification whereby 73% of the households are currently connected to electricity. Contribution by the off-grid solutions is estimated at 23%, while the remaining 50% accounts for on-grid electricity.
