Sustainable Energy Botswana

Today is Energy Day at #COP26. We're excited to be showcasing the @SwanaSmartStore at the #Botswana side event #EnergyDayBW with @UKinBotswana and @USEmbassyBW Follow the event in real-time on Facebook from 1600hrs📸🎥 FB.me/e/1SsdjQiyv 🎥📸

#SunDay No stopping Solar now as we shift from the old tech polluting, unreliable, expensive and climate damaging fossil fuel era to the new clean ‘Age of Electricity’ driving the clean energy transition #SDG13

#SunDay DYK Global investment in the energy transition hit a record $2.1 trillion in 2024, up 11% from 2023, with renewable energy and power grids by far the largest sectors. 🌐📈

#SunDay A question often get asked Will #solar panels really last 30+ years? If they can power satellites in space for decades, they can handle your roof. TISO-10, Europe’s oldest solar system, has been running since 1982—still going strong with just 8% power loss after 40 years.

Our city schools benefitted from this engagement big thank you to all involved under the guidance on Mma Ntobedzi @EuniceKira and @FemengBotswana from @UofGEngineering #SDG17 #SDG4

#SunDay DYK the International Space Station runs on 84 solar panels? If it can power missions in orbit, imagine what solar can do for your offices hotel factory or warehouse on Earth🌍! At Sustainable Energy Botswana we design and install industrial‐grid scale solar solutions.

It’s #SunDay Its your reminder to switch to Solar with SEB ⚡ We’re powering homes, businesses, and communities all over Botswana with: 🔋 Clean Energy Solutions 🔌 Energy Storage Systems 💡 Smart Power Management 🛠️ Installation & Maintenance

#SunDay We are supporting the implementation of #Mission300 in Botswana, Malawi and Zambia Off-grid solar solutions can save households $5.6 billion & create thousands of jobs across Africa, boosting economic growth & resilience by providing clean, affordable, reliable energy.

#SunDay Shading can seriously reduce solar output in this case over 80%! Even a small shadow on one panel can affect the performance of the entire string. Always work with a fully qualified, experienced solar design engineer to get the best out of your investment.

#SunDay DYK YOU TO can take advantage of the new @BPCBw solar program 2025 & reduce your energy costs. To qualify : ✅Use an approved system designed & installed by an ERB registered solar engineering team ✅ Have a pre or post paid BPC meter ✅ No outstanding account with BPC

#SunDay ABSA Bank @AbsaBotswana has introduced an eco-friendly financing solution – Green loan Solar System Finance – designed to help households shift to clean, renewable energy without financial stress. Make that shift and save money More:👇🏾

🌞#SunDay Global energy investment is set to rise to $3.3 trillion this year. Solar PV now represents the least-cost source of power in African countries. This is a tripling of private sector clean energy investment, rising from USD17 billion in 2019 to USD40 billion in 2024.

#SunDay There’s no better time to future-proof your business than today. 🏢🌞 Sustainable Energy Botswana designs bespoke solar systems for commercial properties that cut costs, provide energy security & independence and carbon footprints. Botswana clean energy transition 📉

In 1979, solar cost USD$45 per watt. Today in Botswana, it’s just USD$0.10. Solar is now the least-cost energy source in the region yet global investors still hesitate to back its rapid rollout. Bankability a barrier ?

#SolarSaturday Meeting electricity demand from data centres will require a diverse range of sources. Half of global growth in data centre power use over next decade is set to be met by renewables. The latest tier 4 Data centres in Botswana both to have grid integrated Solar PV.

#SolarSaturday Electricity consumption for data centres is set to surge through the end of the decade. Botswana with unlimited Solar potential could see big data centres relocate here to take advantage of reliable clean energy, supported by good global connectivity.

#SolarSaturday DKY One of many initiatives supported by our founding director @EuniceKira in partnership with her Alma Mater WorldChanging @UofGlasgow north south collaborations driving the development agenda. Facilitated by the UK @CheveningFCDO #GoFurtherTogether

🌱 Proud Moment! 💡 We are proud of our young engineering students who have completed the #S3SF Course! 💡👏 To those still learning,the course closes end of August. Finish strong & get certified! Skills in renewables = jobs, innovation & a cleaner future. 🌱🔋 #GreenSkills

#SolarSaturday DYK The @WhiteHouse installed Solar Modules in 1979. In Botswana the first mover was the @UKinBotswana who installed Solar technology @3sCleanEnergy developed with support by @innovateuk at Westminster House in 2022. #SDG13
