In November 2020, DTC Botswana had announced the launch of a new solar PV plant project. At the time, DTC Botswana announced that the project would be done in two phases: Phase 1 involved the construction of a 350 kWp solar PV plant at an estimated cost of P5.2 million, and Phase 2 involves construction of a further 600 kWp solar PV plant
This most likely contributes to the prevailing perception in Botswana that solar PV is expensive. The system contains 5920 panels, each with a 220-W DC rating, which gives 1 300 000 W or 1300 kW overall rating. The panels are wired in strings of 16 panels connected in series to provide a peak voltage of 470 V DC.
