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.
In the rural hills of Rwamagana District, a collaboration between Rwandan volunteers and students from a Chinese university is making a measurable difference in the daily lives of residents. Their focus: increasing access to clean energy through the installation of off-grid solar systems in homes.
