Technical FAQs 4

How many solar power plants are 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 generating 3.3 MW.

What is Rwanda's off-grid solar electrification strategy?

The Rwanda off-grid solar electrification strategy comprises solar lanterns, 1 solar home systems (SHSs), solar mini-grids, solar water pumps, and solar water heaters. Although a country-wide SHS subsidy program is underway, it is pertinent to evaluate how this unfolding energy market will configure and impact the execution of the SDGs in Rwanda.

How much does a solar energy system cost in Rwanda?

The system is particularly cost-effective compared with a microgrid PV system that supplies electricity to a rural community in Rwanda. Results indicate that the total NPC, LCOE, and operating costs of a standalone energy system are estimated to USD 9284.40, USD 1.23 per kWh, and USD 428.08 per year, respectively.

What is the average solar irradiation in Rwanda?

In Rwanda, the average daily solar irradiation is between 4.0 and 5.0 kWh/m 2 /day . The highest solar radiation for the selected site is seen in July where the value is 5.87 kWh/m 2 /day. Energy storage has been proposed, with the backup used during peak demand, power shortages, blackouts, or some other power loss in grid-connected systems.
