General Info

Botswana Technology Centre (BOTEC) has been involved in the development of the Motshegaletau Solar Power Station. This is the first centralised solar (photovoltaic) power station designed to provide mains electricity at 220V AC to up to 50 households in a small remote village.


The system enables people to plug in their televisions, radios, refrigerators or computers. Already the Health Clinic, Motshegaletau Primary School, a local bar and many households are connected to the Power Station, which also powers street lights in different parts of the village.


This development has added quality to the lives of the people of Motshegaletau, and will help to facilitate growth in the local business community.
