SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC APPLICATIONS Photovoltaic conversion of solar energy (PV) in Botswana is used for almost all common applications Role of solar energy in development in Botswana 185 Fig. 4. A brick type solar still developed at RIIC, Kanye. which include lighting, water pumping, refrigeration, communication and fence electrification. 5.1.
Botswana is seeking a reliable and cost-effective electricity source, as hydropower is no longer viable due to droughts [Why does Botswana need solar power?]. To encourage the adoption of PV systems, Botswana imposes 20% import duties on solar lights and lanterns (and 5% on solar batteries), and offers net-metering for rooftop installations.

After years of research and development activities, the RIIC findings concluded that the Mexican and brick solar stills are the best suited for application in Botswana. The Mexican still consists of a moulded fibreglass basin of 1.6 m2 base area to hold saline water and has gutters on two sides to collect the distillate.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
