It predicted production of 680 TWh equal to 24.4% of energy demand . The rooftop solar technical potential was determined in Hanoi (Vietnam) from the energy supply perspective by using GIS, and high-resolution satellite image analysis technology, combining with artificial intelligence algorithms.
These projects, with a combined capacity of 1.5GW, will be implemented through private sector investment, with the Botswana Power Corporation (BPC) acting as the offtaker under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) of up to 25 years.
So, an effective solution for urban energy management to solve urban energy requirements, as well as environmental issues, is the use of rooftop solar photovoltaics . Urban building rooftops provide promising locations for solar photovoltaic installations.
“Utility-scale projects by foreign private sector entities require at least 40% mandatory shareholding by Botswana citizen-owned companies. However, small-scale solar PV investments are reserved for 100% citizen-owned companies,” Kenewendo added.
The result stated that rooftop potential of 538 identified buildings was about 11.5 GWh that can supply 48% of local energy demand. It is noted that by choosing the photovoltaic location carefully, 10% of the available area can collect 13% of available energy .
